In the 5th year of Hoei (1708) the Hoeitsuho coin was cast at the Shichijo mint. This type was often called "ozeni" due to its large size. The people found it inconvenient to use, although they were informed that they would be punished for not using it. This was hardly surprising as the government issued the coin with a nominal value of ten mon, but its intrinsic value was only about three mon. This example came from a small group of higher than average quality examples, boldly cast with clear reverse incuse characters.
