Tenpō Tsūhō Coin

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Tenpō Tsūhō Coin by an unknown artist shows a weathered, oval-shaped coin with a darker brown color and lighter brown edges. The coin features an outer rim that is slightly thicker at the top and bottom. A square hole is centered on the coin. Above and below the square hole are three lines of raised Japanese characters. The coin's surface appears worn and aged, set against a dark gray background that fades to white on the right side. The overall appearance suggests an aged, oval coin with a square hole and inscribed characters.
