<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dave L, post: 1790572, member: 26285&quot;]This is a nice piece of Hansatsu. </p><p>These Japanese notes were used as a form of local money, and were quite prolific. They can usually be had for very affordable prices, which is not bad, considering that most were issued from the 1700&#039;s to the 1800&#039;s. </p><p>Your note has a denomination of 1 Silver Monme - a monme being an older unit of weight being at 3.75 grams.</p><p>The figure at top is Daikoku, or rather the Sanmen Daikoku. He is one of the gods of fortune. </p><p>You can read a little more about Hansatsu here: <a href="http://www.banknoteden.com/Japan.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.banknoteden.com/Japan.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.banknoteden.com/Japan.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
