Japanese banknotes from late 17s early 18s [solved]

7 posts • viewed 93 times

Hello everyone! 
I need help identifying these banknotes and finding them in Numista. Does the page exist?
Everything I know about them is that they are from Okayama. I think I even know the name, but I'm not sure if it's the right one. 
“Hanatsu 3 hun”, “Hanatsu 5 hun” and “Hanatsu 1 momme”.  I would also like to know if there are any catalogs where I can find more info about them. Thanks!
Here the pictures of them: 

 

Looked like this: N#400125

Yes, really. 
thanks much, now I have one of them at least🥲😅

You might want to take proper top down pictures of your notes so one can read what is written on them and the pictures be used to make pages in the case of them missing in the catalog.

 

There are reference catalogs about clan notes but they are scarce, only on Japanese or even more archaic Japanese (I haven't found an comprehensive, good English or other western language books yet) and expensive (400-500 dollars plus).

 

@Sakrificed is responsible for feudal Japanese notes so he might be able to help you with the rest.

All are from Tsudera (Bitchuu Province).

 

One with one jewel below top portrait is 1 Monme,

One with five jewels below top portrait is 5 Fun,

One with three jewels below top portrait is 3 Fun,

 

I don't know if all are in the catalog. Please add missing ones using Duplicate function at the bottom of the page.

 

Thank you.

Here are better pictures of them. 
i am not really sure how to add them, if they don’t exist in the catalog, but I can try. I don’t have much info about them

 

To duplicate a page:

1. Go to N#400125 .

2. At the bottom of the page, there is a “duplicate” function.

3. Edit the information, such as the title, uploading new photos, etc.

4. Don't forget to add source of information at the bottom of the page.

5. Click add to to the catalog.

6. The referees will do the rest of things, such as filling missing informations.

 

Thank you.
