日本 駿河 小判金 玩賞品 金銀図録 1-91 約17.4g PCGS AU-55

Fantasy gold koban that Takekawa reports was minted in the town of Imagawa in Suruga, and may have originally had black ink calligraphy applied to the obverse. The obverse has horizontal crenulations and one Kiri flower stamp at the bottom. The reverse is a rough texture with no stamps. It is unknown as to when this might have been produced, however, there was an official Japanese gold mint operating in Suruga from 1601. Encapsulated upside down by PCGS. Only slight wear with no distracting issues. Weight 17.40g.
