[Monetary legislation in modern Japan]

In order to calm the confusion and establish an economic foundation, the new Meiji government announced the issuance of Dajokan notes (gold notes) in 1868, followed by Ministry of Civil Affairs notes in 1869, Ministry of Finance convertible notes in 1871, new banknotes in 1872, Colonization Agency convertible notes, and revised banknotes in 1881.
