4x Japanese Silver Bar Coins "Ichibu-gin" - Edo Period (Ansei/Meiji Era) - Total 34.7g 【Description】 This lot features a fascinating set of 4 historical Japanese silver coins, known as "Ichibu-gin" (One Bu Silver). These unique rectangular silver coins were minted and circulated in Japan during the late Edo period to the early Meiji era (mid-19th century, roughly around the 1850s-1860s), the twilight of the Samurai era. Rectangular coinage is a highly distinct characteristic of traditional Japanese numismatics, making these pieces highly sought after by global collectors. The front of the coin features the inscription "Ichibu-gin" (One Bu Silver) framed by cherry blossoms. The reverse side features the hallmark of the "Ginza" (the silver mint) and the official assayer's signature "Joze", guaranteeing its silver purity and weight at the time.
