ALL ABOUT CANNON BEACH TREASURE COMPANY
$ 260.00 USD Size Guide
Please Note: This is an authentic Japanese Samurai & Shogunate Treasure Coin, and you will receive the exact pendant in the photographs and description.
The Samurai were famed for their code; the Bushido Code - the Way of the Warrior - that encompassed eight principles: Justice, Courage, Mercy, Politeness, Honesty, Honor, Loyalty, and Character and Self-Control. Their coins, minted in the waning days of their power, stand as witness to this extraordinary class of warrior, and the legacy they have left us.
The "1 Bu”, formally a Ichibu-Gin, in this pendant was the largest of the Samurai coins, and carries an incused (a mark that is stamped into, rather than the raised design of the coin die) symbol that means “guaranteed.” This stamp is the mint-masters promise that the coin is to proper weight and purity. This Bu has all the detail of the elegant characters with which it was first minted.
Please Note: This is an authentic Japanese Samurai & Shogunate Treasure Coin, and you will receive and extensive Certificate of Authenticity & Documentation Package with your treasure.
The exquisite design and rectangle shapes of the Samurai coinage began in 1601 and survived for over 250 years, a stunning example of the artistry that flourished in the Edo Period. But when Japan reopened to trade with the West in 1853, the coinage quickly became obsolete as the silver and gold exchange rates gave huge opportunities for foreigner merchants and sailors to export the coins for profit, leading to the loss of large quantities of precious metals in the form of coins to exportation.Since silver and gold coinage was generally owned only by the elite and wealthy, this beautiful Ichibu-Gin coin may once have been carried in a small compartment in the handle of a katana, the sword carried by a proud samurai warrior.For more information of the connection between these Samurai Coins and Cannon Beach, Oregon, read: A Princess, Pirates, a Samurai... & a man named MacDonald
