| Beschrijving voorzijde | 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. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Plain hammered gold field bearing two cursive Chinese characters arranged vertically in the upper-center of the die, reading 光 (Mitsu) above 次 (tsugu), together forming the name Mitsutsugu, the signature of the responsible Mint Official. The characters are boldly rendered in a fluid, semi-cursive hand against the characteristically granular, striated surface of the hammered flan. A row of raised pellets borders the right edge, consistent with the obverse. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Bunsei Isshukin was authorized following a broader monetary reform under the Tokugawa shogunate, itself a response to the chronic debasement cycle that had plagued Japanese gold coinage since the Genroku era. By the Bunsei period, the shogunate's finances were under sustained strain — the eventual Tempo reforms of the 1830s were a direct consequence of the fiscal pressures already visible during this issue's production window. At .123 fineness, this is among the lowest-purity gold shu coinages in the Edo sequence.
