JAPAN: Morioka Domain, AR 8 momme (30.10g), ND (1868), H-9.92, KM-52, JNDA-09-73, "Morioka Ginban" type, 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, with JNDA Certificate of Authenticity, XF. 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. During the Boshin War, the Morioka Domain (ruled by the Nanbu clan) was a prominent member of the pro-shogunate Ouetsu Reppan Domei. While the domain initially attempted to remain neutral, it yielded to pressure from the powerful Sendai Domain and joined the northern coalition against the Imperial forces. Following the collapse of the northern alliance, the Morioka domain surrendered to the Imperial army and the Domain was abolished on July 14, 1871.
