Japanese yen
hi! I saw your edit on Japanese yen. As far as I know, there's no such coin with 元 in 1695. This is a list of historical Japanese coins and these are the copper and bronze coins in Edo period. Could you show me an image of the coin with 元? Thank you. Oda Mari (talk) 19:16, 26 December 2007 (UTC) Another Edo period coin image. Oda Mari (talk) 19:27, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
- I also noticed your edit on Japanese yen, and it caused me to recognize that this trivial fact might be perceived as an appropriate enhancement of Japanese era name. The crisp precision of your last, one-word edit to this article struck a chord. --Ooperhoofd (talk) 21:03, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
- As for Oda Mari's reasonable question, I'm the one who should have the quick answer ready-to-hand. I'm very certain that I'm the one who posted this so-called "fact" -- but when I checked the citation, there was nothing there at all. I'd feel a bit more embarrassed if I understood this better. Give me some time to check this out further. Although I'm sure I didn't make this up out of whole cloth, I'm quite mystified. Oops?

- I do know that there were cash coins with that kanji on them. I'm not sure what the meaning of it was, though. I'm pretty sure there was no connection with the use of that character for yuan, as that's simply a modern-day simplification of the same original character that the yen kanji is also simplified from. (I don't have access right now to a computer that can type kanji)
- I also don't know what year that kanji was first stamped on cash coins, so 1695 may well be incorrect. Nik42 (talk) 22:32, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
- Also, the character was on the reverse side. Nik42 (talk) 22:32, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
- Hmmm ... actually, that may well be an error. I've found coins such as these: http://www.imes.boj.or.jp/cm/english_htmls/feature_gra1-7.htm but that's bun, not gen. Nik42 (talk) 22:38, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
- Ah! Found it. http://www.history.ucsb.edu/faculty/roberts/coins/Kaneibasics.html The gen kanji was a mintmark, apparently first used in 1668. Nik42 (talk) 22:47, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

- Aha -- Happily, I have an explanation for my awkward confusion. I do stand by the sentence I posted in July. The data is reliable and the citation is accurate; and the reference source is at page 415 of a readily accessible, digitized on-line book:
- Titsingh, Isaac, ed. (1834). [Siyun-sai Rin-siyo/Hayashi Gahō (1652)], Nipon o daï itsi ran; ou, Annales des empereurs du Japon, tr. par M. Isaac Titsingh avec l'aide de plusieurs interprètes attachés au comptoir hollandais de Nangasaki; ouvrage re., complété et cor. sur l'original japonais-chinois, accompagné de notes et précédé d'un Aperçu d'histoire mythologique du Japon, par M. J. Klaproth. Paris: Oriental Translation Fund of Great Britain and Ireland.--Two copies of this rare book have now been made available online: (1) from the library of the University of Michigan, digitized January 30, 2007; and (2) from the library of Stanford University, digitized June 23, 2006. Click here to read the original text in French. <<--Link needs fixing
- But there was a very small glitch in the digitizing of the Stanford University copy of this book -- page 415 is missing; ergo, my confusion earlier today. The link in the citation above (and in most other citations) brings up the wrong copy of the book -- wrong only in the sense that there is no digitized page 415. My next step will be to fix the link; but there is no good reason to delay bringing both you and Oda Mari up to speed. Expressed differently, I just want to do what I can so that we can all be on the same page .... --Ooperhoofd (talk) 02:21, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
- I found something. 1695 is a year in Genroku/元禄 era and the character 元 placed was a name of the era, not the currency name and the coin was Genroku gold coins, not copper coins. You know historical Japanese coins bear their era name, don't you? I found an essay in Japanese says the 元 is placed on the back of Genroku koban to show its issued era name. It's difficult to see the character but here's the images of the koban near the bottom of the page, though it's a forged one. And this is the essay I found in the Bank of Japan official site. Even if Titsingh's book says so, there's a possibility that he might mistranslate Japanese. Do you know where on the web can I see the original text? If I could, I think everything is going to be clear. Oda Mari (talk) 07:53, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
- P.S. This is the English page of the essay. Oda Mari (talk) 08:12, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
