| Obverse description | Stylized depiction of Daikoku, the god of wealth, rendered in bold hammered relief occupying the central field. The figure is accompanied by characteristic iconographic elements including a treasure mallet and sack, executed in a compressed, cursive decorative style typical of Edo-period monetary artisanship. The era character 文 (Bun, abbreviating Bunsei) appears prominently within the design, serving as the principal authenticating mark of the issuing period. The overall composition is irregular in outline, consistent with the hand-struck bean-money (mameitagin) production technique. The surface displays characteristic hammered texture with uneven fields reflecting the artisanal nature of manufacture. |
