| Obverse description | Irregularly shaped hammered silver flan displaying multiple stamped impressions of the Kanji character 'Gen' (元), denoting the Genroku era, applied in a scattered arrangement across the field. A single stamp of Daikoku, the Shinto deity of wealth depicted in conventional stylized form, appears prominently among the era-name stamps. The surface exhibits the characteristic uneven texture and rounded bean-like profile typical of mameitagin coinage, with stamps applied by hand in an overlapping fashion. The design reflects the official authentication marks required by the Tokugawa Shogunate's monetary authorities. |

| Reverse description | Convex, largely plain reverse surface displaying the natural domed profile characteristic of mameitagin bean silver coinage, produced by the hammering process. A faint, partially legible stamp impression is discernible near the center, consistent with bleed-through or secondary striking from the obverse dies. The surface shows typical patination and irregular texture inherent to this hand-struck silver denomination, with no intentional design elements applied to this face. |
