| Obverse description | Large oval gold plate with a finely hammered and ruled linear background field. In the center, two bold ink-brushed inscriptions in grass script (sōsho) denote the denomination and official authorization: the upper inscription reads '拾両' (Ten Ryō) and the lower renders the Gotō mint master's signature '後藤'. Four small circular seal stamps appear in the corners and along the margins, each bearing additional authenticating marks of the Gotō assay house. The overall surface exhibits the characteristic flat, hand-finished texture of Keichō-period ōban production. |
