Kanei Tsūhō Japanese Coin — Currency of the Samurai Era
The Kanei Tsūhō (寛永通宝) is an authentic Japanese coin first issued in the early 1600s during the Edo period, a time dominated by the rule of the samurai class under the Tokugawa shogunate. These coins were part of everyday life in feudal Japan, used in markets, inns, and towns by commoners and samurai alike.
Featuring the iconic round shape with a square center hole, Kanei Tsūhō coins were cast in copper-alloy or iron and circulated for over two centuries. Samurai would have carried these very coins to pay for food, lodging, or travel while serving their lords across Japan.
Affordable and rich in history, Kanei Tsūhō coins offer collectors a direct connection to the world of the samurai—a genuine piece of Edo-period Japan made accessible through The Roman Coin Bank.
