Hello I believe I might have a very rare type of Gin-Ban coin called a Sekisyuu-Gin,
It was allegedly minted in the 16th century Iwami Ginza Silver Mine.
Below is my suppose example of a Sekiyuu-Gin [Top] along with a confirmed example of one [Bottom]

And below is the certified example as well as what appears to be a sketch detailing the history of the Sekiyuu-Gin.
Unfortunate it is the image is not detailed enough to be able to use Google translate to confirm what is written about it.
The source of the image had a rough translation of the description left by it's owner detailing what it is
"Description SEKISYUUGIN is a silver coin made with silver which Is produced in Iwami-silver-mine in the late 16th century.Coin KOBAN of SEKISYUUGIN is rare in Japan.I do not know whether it was actually distributed.The paulownia box is attached. ■Size of a SEKISYUUGIN KOBAN.4.7 cm(1.10") in width.8cm(1.73") in length. Weight34g/ 1.20oz. KOBAN coin has a sculpture of the Pure silver.It's carved by a Japanese kanji.Age Unknown. Material Silver"
So I was wanting to ask if somebody here was familiar with these types of Gin-Ban coins & could tell me more about it or if mine is one of the many 18th century restrikes or Fantasy Gin-Bans?
