Samurai were Japan’s ultimate warriors. Fierce yet distinguished, their culture, razor sharp swords and magnificent armoured uniforms are now legendary.
But in the 1870s, the last of the Samurai Warriors hung up their swords and armour as a new Japanese era began. At the same time, production of the Mon, the currency of this long period in history, stopped altogether.
This distinctly Asian currency would’ve been given to Japanese Samurai warriors as payment for the protection of feudal landlords in Early Modern Japan. This era has fascinated us for generations.
Here’s why it’s a CPM recommendation:
- It's a rare collection featuring coins and a banknote from samurai-era Japan.
