A little too large for your Barbie dolls, and a lot too small for you (unless, of course, you're Tom Thumb size!)

According to the Japanese Numismatic Dealers Assn. Catalog (a far more comprehensive and reliable source than Krause) the Kaei Isshu Gin (correctly translated by Gary) date to the period 1853-1865, the final dying days of the Tokugawa Shogunate. (The official date of the Meiji Restoration is 1867, when the last Shogun resigned, although the Meiji Emperor did not consolidate his power until the following year, which is considered the first year of the Meiji Era.)
