Japanese Coin | Edo Period Collection with the Dutch coat ofHistory of the Artifact These Japanese Edo Period coins were the first of their kind to be casted for general circulation in 1636 after the currency reform following centuries of using Chinese coins for trading. The value of a Mon was set at par with Bita, which could purchase a sardine (iwashi), a piece of mochi, or 1 G of salt (about 0. 18 litre). The Edo period in Japan, which lasted from 1603 to 1868, was marked by peace, stability, and isolation.
