Japanese Coins
Japanese coin history started in the year 708 when the coins introduced were similar to Chinese coins, round coins with square holes. The currencies produced by Japan in the 1300s to fulfill the needs were exact copies of the Chinese coins and rendered meager value.
In the 1500s, it was the first time a group started to prepare Japanese currency that featured thick gold bundoukin, shaped oddly.
In 1601, Tokugawa Shogunate was the one to make a variety of Japanese coins varying in shapes and sizes, featuring bronze, silver, and gold coins.
Non-standardized coins were produced in 1854 and 1868, which ended in 1871, as Yen was introduced as a standardized currency unit that reflected Japanese history and culture.
After all this struggle and chaos, Japanese currency in recent times is valuable and collected by people around the world; therefore, collecting Japanese currency is a good investment and a pleasant hobby.
