Koban (reproduction) - Japanese Old Collectible Coins (10/5 Koban coins)
"A little something for you, honorable official." "You're quite the scoundrel yourself."
Could this be used as a bribe? This koban, featured as a prop in movies and dramas, is unique to our store, which operates at the film village.
During the Edo period, in Japan (1603–1868) the koban was an oval shaped coin that served as a common currency unit with ties to the economy's rice value measures and bore symbols, for authentication and denomination purposes; it frequently featured in samurai and merchant dealings.
The koban has become a representation of Japans period and is widely sought after as a souvenir or used in movies and TV shows set in historical times.
