JAPAN. 100 Mon. 1835-1870.
- Value: 100 Mon.
- Year: 1835-1870.
- Inscriptions: Obverse: 天保通寶. Reverse: 當百.
- Grade: MS63 (GBCA).
Large-denomination bronze coin in the Tenpō Tsūhō series, issued during the late Edo period as a measure to ease the Tokugawa shogunate's economic difficulties. It features the characteristic oval shape with a square central hole, inspired by the Chinese monetary tradition. The obverse bears the vertical inscription “Tenpō Tsūhō” in a robust calligraphic style, while the reverse indicates the value “當百” (equivalent to one hundred mon), accompanied by a stylized mark below. The piece retains well-defined reliefs with sharp details in the characters, surfaces with original texture and a uniform brown patina with slight areas of greenish oxidation. A solid strike is evident with minor irregularities typical of the casting process, faithfully representing this type of circulating currency in premodern Japan.
Disclaimer: For orders shipped outside the European Union, I want to make it absolutely clear that I do ship from Spain, which means that if the package is sent to any country outside the European Union, and/or inside the EU that has a special tax agreement (example: Canary Islands), it might be stopped in your local customs and they might ask you to pay taxes. This is a customs/legal procedure and it is completely out of our control. Thanks for your understanding.
