My dealer picked this up from a first time customer who walked in and I gotta say..it’s pretty awesome! Definitely a unique coinage. In case anyone is wondering the weight is ~11 grams and the gold is high purity. I am 1/4 Japanese so I couldn’t pass up sharing this xD
Yeah for sure. I can say in my experience I don’t think I’ve ever come across one before. They definitely aren’t common that’s for sure. I imagine most of them were melted down in the last 150 years or so.
Nah it was in the $2,000-$2,500 range. I think that is a very fair price considering the scarcity of Kobans in general.
That is pretty cool. Forever out of my price range unless I win the lottery...but still fun to drool over
Great item. Something to drool over. Thanks for sharing. I was able to get one about 30 years ago. I bought it as a fake, which I believed it was. I should dig it out and examine it again to make sure.
