Akita Sasa Ichibu-gin (Bamboo-Design One-Bu Silver Coin), Akita Domain, Satake Clan; Antique Coin; K

The minting of coinage was a prerogative of the Tokugawa shogunate. By the late Edo period, however, a nationwide currency shortage prompted the authorities to permit individual domains to issue local coinage. Rich in mineral resources, the Akita domain issued a variety of currencies.

The Akita Sasa Ichibu silver coin bears the sasa rindo (bamboo and gentian) crest at the centre of the obverse. The reverse is inscribed with the character (¡°Aki,¡± for Akita) and (Dozan Tsuho, ¡°Circulating Treasure of the Copper Mines¡±).
