| Beschrijving keerzijde | Three stylised Paulownia flower (kiri) seals arranged in a triangular composition within the field: one seal of smaller format positioned at the upper centre, and two larger, more elaborate Paulownia blossom motifs placed symmetrically at the lower left and lower right. Each device displays the characteristic five-lobed Paulownia floral cluster with branching foliage, rendered in incuse relief. The field is otherwise plain, enclosed by a raised rim and reeded edge. |

Trial pieces from the Osaka Mint occupy a peculiar institutional space — produced not for circulation but for internal approval processes, yet struck in the actual intended metal rather than lead or copper, which was unusual by international standards of the period. This particular piece reflects the Meiji government's aggressive push to establish a Western-style coinage infrastructure after 1871, when the New Currency Act overhauled Japan's monetary system almost overnight.
Whether this trial preceded an adopted type or a rejected one remains the critical question for attribution.
