The minting started in May 1824, and the first coin was issued on July 27 of the same year, but Isshukin was not popular because of low purity of gold, its color looking like a false gold coin and fragility, and also because it was lost easily due to a small size and difficulty in handling. |
文政7年(1824年)5月から鋳造が始まり、同年7月2日より初めて発行されたが、金純度も低く偽金貨のような色を呈し割れやすいもので、その上、小さくて扱いづらく紛失しやすい事もあり不評であった。 |
