JAPAN. "New Kanei Tsuho" Mon Bosen (Seed/Mother Coin), ND (ca. 1668-1869). Mito Mint. UNCIRCULATED.
KM-C-1.14s; JNDA-71; JC-07-4-2; Hartill-4.215. Wide hole variety. This handsome example displays the phenomenal production quality that one would expect over the normal currency issues of its time. Refined and elegant engraving, and still slightly lustrous surfaces display all the requisite beauty for which one could ever. With no evidence of handling, this seed is as unhandled as the day on which it was produced.
Ex: Dr. Norman Jacobs Collection.
Estimate: $400 - $600
