| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a large, stylized kiri (paulownia) floral crest rendered in high relief with interlocking curvilinear petals radiating symmetrically from a central vertical stem. A second, smaller kiri crest appears in the lower-left field. The denomination characters 朱 (shu) and 一 (one) are inscribed in the lower portion of the field in regular-script Chinese characters. A row of raised beads runs along the right border, and diagonal hatching animates the textured background typical of Edo-period hammered gold coinage. |
