JAPAN: Tokugawa, 1603-1868, AE mon (3.46g), H-3.192, JNDA-127.4, Nagasaki Trade Coinage, ka yu tsu ho, cast 1668-85, VF. Under the Tokugawa shogunate, Japan enforced a strict isolationist policy (sakoku) and forbade the entrance of outsiders. Foreign trade was only allowed on Dejima, a 120 x 75m (390 x 250ft) artificial island in the Nagasaki Bay connected to the mainland by a single bridge. With the exception of Japanese traders and courtesans, contact with foreign traders was strictly forbidden, as was the export of Kan'ei Tsuho coins and maps of Japan.
