JAPAN. "New Kanei Tsuho" Mon Bosen (Seed/Mother Coin), ND (Tensho 6 [1835]). Shusaki Mint. UNCIRCULATED.
cf. KM-C-1.12; JNDA-70; JC-07-4-2; Hartill-4.214. Variety with one-stroke "kan" (+). This lot presents a wonderful example of a seed coin, offering beautiful details and even some luminosity to the fields. One of the prettiest Japanese cast pieces one could ever hope to find. A single small green spot can be seen, about the only flaw that can be raised against this beauty.
Ex: Dr. Norman Jacobs Collection.
Estimate: $750 - $1500
