Comments
(en) Shō Toku (尚徳) was the sixth king of the Ryūkyū Kingdom who reigned from 1461 to 1469. He issued one of the kingdom's few original coinage, Sekō Tsūhō, named after his alternate regnal name. To cast it, the Yongle Tongbao was used as a prototype with its 永楽 replaced with 世高, resulting in the slight differences in font type between 世高 and 通宝.
Example coin is a DHJ#6.22
