Description: 2 Shu - Tenpo Samurai Electrum Coin from Japan Years:1832-1858 Value: 2 Shu (⅛) Currency: Ryō ( 1601-1867 ) Composition: Electrum (Gold and Silver) .298 gold / .702 silver Weight: 1.64 g Size: 13 × 7.5 mm Here is a fine example of a nishu-kin (2 shu) gold coin minted during the Japanese Tokugawa shogunate between 1832 and 1858. The pale gold color is due to the fact that this coin, like most Japanese gold coins of the period, was minted from a gold-silver alloy known as electrum. Tokugawa era Japanese gold coins are often called "samurai money" as an ode to their feudal origins. These Japanese gold coins from the Tokugawa shogunate have an unusual rectangular shape surrounded by finely beaded borders that is reminiscent of a miniature bar or ingot. Covered in exotic Japanese calligraphy and stylized paulownia flowers, shu and bu gold coins unequivocally exude the style of traditional samurai Japan. The warm, soft glow of their electrum alloy accentuates the intricate details of the pieces, giving them a compellingly tactile sensibility. These coins are guaranteed to be 100% authentic and are procured directly from Japan. You will receive 1 random coin from this lot
