Isshugin - Isshugin

Japanese: 一朱銀 - いっしゅぎん
Isshugin - Isshugin
A silver coin from the Edo period, worth 1/16 of a ryo. Two were minted in 1829 (Bunsei 12) and 1854 (Kaei 7). At first, they were made of high-quality silver and called Bunsei Nanryo Isshu Gin, but the value gradually deteriorated. At the time, one shu of silver was equivalent to 250 mon, and was also commonly called Odaiba, as it was paid as daily allowances to laborers at the batteries (batteries) built for coastal defense. From April 1868 to February 1869, inferior Isshu silver called Fukitsugi Isshu Gin was minted.

江戸時代の銀貨で,1両の16分の1にあたる。1829年(文政12年)創鋳のものと,1854年(嘉永7年)の創鋳のものがある。はじめ良質の銀を用いて文政南鐐(なんりょう)一朱銀と称されていたが,しだいに改悪されていった。銀一朱は当時銭250文(もん)に相当し,沿岸防備のために建設されていた台場(砲台)の人夫に日当分として支払われていたので〈お台場〉とも通称された。1868年4月から1869年2月まで吹継(ふきつぎ)一朱銀とよばれる劣位の一朱銀を鋳造している。
