Authentic Samurai Silver Coin Ichibu Gin Ansei Era Lot of 3 Ingot 25g JDM ■ Description Welcome to LastPiece-TimeTravel-Japan. We circulate precious memories, passing them on to become someone else's ultimate treasure—your "Last Piece." We are a professional Japanese seller dedicated to delivering the final, missing piece of your collection, traveling across time straight from Japan to your hands. [Product Overview] Travel back to the legendary twilight of the Samurai era. Up for auction is a fascinating lot of 3 authentic "Ichibu-gin" (One Bu Silver) rectangular coins from Japan's Edo Period (minted during the Ansei/early Meiji eras, mid-19th century). The total combined weight of this impressive set is exactly 25 grams. Rectangular coinage is a highly distinct characteristic of traditional Japanese numismatics, making these solid silver ingots highly sought after by global collectors. [Historical Highlight & Numismatic Details] During the reign of the Tokugawa Shogunate, Japan operated under a strict isolationist policy, producing these unique, heavy rectangular pieces instead of standard round coins. The Front: Elegantly stamped with "Ichibu-gin" framed by delicate cherry blossoms—a profound and enduring symbol of the Samurai spirit. The Reverse: Features the official hallmark of the "Ginza" (the Shogunate's silver mint) and the assayer's signature "Joze", guaranteeing its strict silver purity and weight at the time of the Samurai. [Our Sourcing Promise] We know how important trust is when dealing with historical antiquities. Every single coin in this lot was sourced and collected entirely by ourselves directly from private Japanese estates. Because we gathered everything exclusively with our own hands, you are guaranteed to receive genuine, untouched artifacts exactly as they were discovered. Buy with absolute confidence! [Condition - The Beauty of Wabi-Sabi] ANTIQUE / CIRCULATED CONDITION. These coins have survived over 150 years. As genuine circulating currency from the Edo period, they show expected signs of history, including natural tarnishing (patina), minor surface scratches, and edge wear. In Japanese culture, we do not polish these historical artifacts; instead, we revere this natural aging process as "Wabi-Sabi"—the profound beauty found in the passage of time. These unpolished surfaces are the honorable scars of their journey. Please review all high-resolution photos carefully to appreciate their venerable character before bidding. [Shipping & Handling] Your treasures will be packed carefully with the utmost respect. We use rigid cardboard and strict protective measures to safeguard these historical artifacts from any scratching or moisture during international transit. We pack more carefully and ship faster than standard domestic services. Shipped directly from Japan with a tracking number. (Note: Import duties, taxes, and custom charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.) [Authenticity Guaranteed] As professional sellers based in Japan, we guarantee that all our items are 100% authentic Edo Period silver coins. Thank you for visiting our listing. We hope these pieces of Samurai history bring a powerful presence to your collection.
