| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays eleven stylized wave motifs arranged symmetrically around the central square hole, rendered in the characteristic Japanese decorative convention for water or wave patterns (nami). The waves are depicted as bold, curved relief elements radiating outward from the square aperture toward the rim, organized in two tiers with five waves in the upper field and six in the lower, creating a balanced and visually striking composition. The raised outer rim frames the design cleanly. This distinctive wave reverse is a hallmark identifying feature of the Bunkyūeihō 4 Mon series, setting it apart from earlier Mon coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Bunkyū Eiraku was minted under Tokugawa authority during one of the most turbulent stretches of late Edo governance, as the shogunate simultaneously managed foreign treaty pressure, sonnō jōi agitation, and a currency system increasingly unable to meet circulation demand. The cursive script variant — as opposed to the standard block characters — was produced at different casting facilities and is treated as a distinct type by collectors precisely because Japanese mon coinage was cast, not struck, making each furnace's output subtly but consistently distinguishable.
