Rains reacted to DuncanWylieWilson in Japan 2 Bu and 2 Shu Gold Coins – Last Coins of the Samurai – £450 Posted – UK 🇬🇧
🇯🇵 Japan 2 Bu and 2 Shu Set – Last Coins of the Samurai
For sale here is a lot of four gold coins from the final era of the Japanese Samurai. Each of these coins are cast from an alloy of gold and silver known as electrum and were produced at various points throughout the 1800's prior to the abolition of the Samurai class during the Meiji era.
Included in this lot are four coins, two having face values of 2 Bu and the other two with face values of 2 Shu. There are four different types in this lot and their respective details are as follows:
🏯 Japan 2 Bu "Ansei Nibukin" ND (1856-1860) – Cast from 5.62 grams of electrum comprised of approximately 20% gold and 80% silver. There are around 1.124 grams of pure gold in this coin.
🎌 Japan 2 Bu "Meiji" (Edo Mint) ND (1868-1869) – Cast from 3 grams of electrum comprised of approximately 22% gold and 78% silver. There are around 0.66 grams of pure gold in this coin.
🏯 Japan 2 Shu "Tenpō Nishukin" ND (1832-1858) – Cast from 1.64 grams of electrum comprised of approximately 30% gold and 70% silver. There are around 0.492 grams of pure gold in this coin.
🎌 Japan 2 Shu "Man'en Nishukin" (ND 1860-1869) – Cast from 0.75 grams of electrum comprised of approximately 23% gold and 77% silver. There are around 0.173 grams of pure gold in this coin.
Each of the above coins were cast within a range of years based on the period in which they were cast and left undated, hence the 'ND' ('no date') designation. All four will come in Quadrum capsules which have been meticulously labeled with the relevant information and KM number for each type.
These types of coin are often referred to as 'shogunate' coinage as they were largely used and hoarded by Japan's ruling military Samurai class. The use of larger percentages of silver than gold in these coins allowed the face value to be kept low, while the gold was seen as a way of the coins always holding value regardless of economic circumstance. It was for these reasons that they were often hoarded by the shogunate, particularly towards their abolition with the end of the feudal period in Japan and the start of the imperial Meiji Restoration.
The two example photographs show these coins hidden within the handle of a samurai sword.
You simply won't find another lot like this at this price point.
Sale price is £450 including fully-insured posted to mainland UK and Northern Ireland.
Payment via bank transfer to UK business bank account.
Thank you! 🌟

Probably a widow who was told her deceased husbands Princess Diana and Queen mother's 1/8oz gold coin collection from Hattons was almost worthless.
