In this video I will tell you about 76 Rare and Most Expensive Japanese Old, Modern and ancient hole Coins. These coins are highly collectable. Japan has a vey amazing coinage history. The art of coinage was borrowed from China by Japan, whose first bronze coins were issued in AD 708. To the mid-10th century, 12 different issues were made, each of a different reign. For the next 600 years, however, no government coins were issued, and grain and cloth were used as money. From the Middle Ages imported Chinese coins began to circulate along with locally minted imitations. In 1624 the copper kwan-ei was first issued and remained in vast variety the usual issue for more than two centuries. The ei-raku and bun-kyū sen of the 19th century were the only other regular copper coins. Unlike China, Japan has had a gold and silver coinage since the 16th century. The gold coins are large flat pieces in the shape of rectangles with rounded corners, the largest size being ōban and the smaller koban. Other gold pieces are the small rectangular pieces of one and two bu issued from time to time; round gold is rare and usually of provincial mints. Silver was originally in the form of stamped bars called long silver; these were supplemented by small lumps, also stamped, called bean silver. They were later augmented by issues of silver pieces in the same shape as the small rectangular gold coins. In 1869 a mint on European lines was established in Tokyo, and gold, silver (yen or dollars), and copper were regularly issued from it until World War II, when nickel and various alloys superseded the precious metals. After World War II the yen was retained as the unit of currency. The e sen of Japan are not coins but amulets.
