| Obverse description | Uniface hammered billon piece of irregular bean-shaped flan bearing a stamped design of Daikoku, one of the Seven Gods of Fortune, centrally placed within the field. The primary authentication stamp consists of the character 保 (Hō), denoting the Tenpō era, enclosed within the Daikoku cartouche. A cluster of additional 保 characters surrounds the central motif, serving as mint verification marks. On certain examples, partial impressions of the characters 常 (upper) and 是 (lower) are visible along the left margin, representing further assay or mint official stamps. The overall surface exhibits the characteristic uneven, rounded texture resulting from the hammered bean-silver production technique. |
