(Translation: Gen)
Reverse description The reverse bears an identical composition to the obverse, featuring the Daikoku stamp with the central character 元 (Gen) repeated and surrounded by further impressions of the same character in the field. As is typical of mameitagin bean-silver coinage, the reverse design mirrors the obverse, with multiple overlapping die strikes applied to both faces of the irregular silver lump, resulting in a clustered arrangement of the 元 characters across the surface.
