JAPAN: Morioka Domain, AR 8 momme (29.86g), ND (1868), H-9.92, KM-52, JNDA-9-73, hatchi momme at center, counterstamped kai (revised) in circle, and yu (finance) six times // yama for Yamagata Province, and yu (finance) six times, struck in 1868 to fund the Morioka clan war chest, an attractive nearly mint state example, PCGS graded AU58. This type was struck from silver produced from the Kosaka Mine and minted from March to August 1868 at the rate of about 150 pieces per day. Due to the many surviving pieces that are in good quality, it is likely that they were in circulation for a very short time, or found only very limited circulation during the brief Boshin War.
