These coins were what got me into collecting Japanese cash. Took me about a year to complete my set, though I am missing the really rare pieces like the iron Ichi revese, and the mother coins of 十, 川, and ト. Ranked in order starting from my favorite.

1. Ichinose-sen 一 Ichi mint mark. The last one I got, and though its the most simple, it appeals to me the most for that reason. The obverse calligraphy is also nice.

2. Nagasaki-sen 長 Naga mint mark. Very unique calligraphy style, as well as the thin rims make it one of my top favorites

3. Ashio-sen 足 Ashi mint mark. Funky calligraphy and an interesting mint in my opinion. I would like to visit the museum and town there some day.

4. Hitachi-ota-sen 久二 Ku Ni mint mark. Unique for its use of 2 characters, obverse calligraphy is also nice.

5. Sendai-sen 仙 Sen mint mark. A nice strong coin.

Just recieved this mameitagin and was wondering if specific era could be determined. Unfortunately the marker inside Daikoku is off flan, so it's probably a long shot but I'll ask anyways. Im thinking Kyoho or Bunsei.

I find these to be the most pleasing as well as wacky calligraphy varieties of Kan'eitsūhō. Ranked in no particular order, however the Kameido Genbunki-sen is absolutely my favorite.

1. 亀戸元文期銭、大字 Kameido Genbunki-sen, large characters. It is a beautiful type.
2. 不旧手藤沢銭 Fukyute Fujisawa-sen. My favorite of the Fukyute group.
3. 和歌山銭、大字 Wakayama-sen, large characters. Funky script and beautiful black patina on this coin in particular.
4. 日光銭 Nikko-sen. Unfortunately I do not have the Chidori type yet.
5. 洲崎銭 Shusaki-sen. The Tsū is written particularly nicely.
