The Imperial markings for the Koban feudal Japanese currently are not able to be read, but like all money it has markings. This type of money appears in the classic story that expands on why Cherry Blossoms are so important in Japan: はなさかじいさん.
This story is well known to Japanese folk, but others who want to gain a deeper meaning on the power behind the Cherry Blossom this story is for you. Be warned, you may need a box of tissues, you have been warned. It is a Never Ending Story type of touchstone.
This is real life Koban from fedual Japan, notice the marking on the golden currency!
