Japan. Tokugawa Shogunate. Shin-Kanei Tsuho (new Kanei Tsuho). Takatsu-sen
Hartill 4.197-200 var.; Jones (2007) 270-2 var; KM C 1.8 var; Zeno # 253573

1 mon (cast copper alloy), cast from 1741 (Kanpo 1), at the Takatsu Osaka mint (Settsu Province); 2.59 g., 22.68 mm. max., 0°

Obv: 寛永通寶 Kanei tsuho

Rev: 元 Gen

Although there are fifteen varieties, of which ten circulated, Hartill only lists four and Jones three. This is the variety called 小字背元 Shoji Hai Gen in which the characters are small and the crown of 寶 ho is level. It differs from Hartill 4.199 in that the left leg of 元 gen is not long.

The 元 gen character refers to the Gembun era, at the end of which (1740 = Genbun 5) the order to cast these cash was given. 200,000 strings a year were cast.
