Watch List notes:

Japan, bronze 100 mon (Tempo Tsuho), shogunate, no date (1835-1870), very rare provenance. KM-7. 14.46 grams. Very rare provenance (the first we have offered from this wreck) and probably from a passenger's effects. A rather impressive survivor given the effect of saltwater on bronze with some surface pitting yet most of the detail still visible. With Ponterio photo-certificate from 1994. Recovered from: H.M.S. Osprey, sunk in 1867 off South Africa.

Estimate: $125 - $200
