One-minute money

Japanese: 一分金 - いちぶきん

A rectangular gold coin from the Edo period. It is equal to one-fourth of one ryo of koban. It was first minted around 1601 (6th year of the Keicho era). After the Keicho Ichibu Kin, reminted Ichibu Kin were issued in the Genroku, Hoei, Shotoku, Genbun, Bunsei, Tenpo, Ansei, and Man'en periods. However, with the exception of the Keicho Ichibu Kin and Shotoku Ichibu Kin, they were often poorly minted and of poor quality. As they were very convenient for trading, they were widely circulated as "small grains" and, along with koban, were the main form of gold currency in the Edo period. There were also many Ichibu Kin coins among the Koshu gold coins minted by the Takeda clan of Kai during the Tenbun period (1532-1555). →Ichishu Gold→Related topics Kinza | Keicho Gold and Silver | Goto Shozaburo | Tenpo Gold and Silver | Bunsei Gold and Silver | Western Silver (Coin)

江戸時代の長方形の金貨。小判１両の４分の１に当たる。1601年（慶長６年）ごろ初めて鋳造。この慶長一分金以後，元禄・宝永・正徳・元文・文政・天保・安政・万延の各期の改鋳一分金が発行された。しかし，慶長一分金・正徳一分金を除くと悪鋳され，品位が劣る場合が多かった。取引上はなはだ便利でもあったので，俗に〈小粒〉として広く流通し，小判と並んで江戸時代金貨幣の主軸であった。なお天文期（1532年―1555年）に甲斐武田氏によって鋳造された甲州金のうちにも多くの一分金があった。→一朱金
