1860-1869 Japan Electrum Rectangular 2 Bu Emperor Meiji XF

I bought 2 of these. The design is very beautiful and exactly like the online pictures. I had never heard of electrum and am very pleased to have these. They measure approximately 11mm wide by 19mm length. I would love to find a bezel that would fit that size.

IT IS Samurai Money!

Firstly, Electrum is very cool considering it’s a naturally occurring alloy of gold and silver and the fact that the first metal coins ever made were of Electrum. Secondly, this is from a very impactful and important era of Japanese and Martial Arts history (Meiji Restoration). This currency and similar is what some of the last Samurai used. P.S it’s about the size of a 5 gram gold bar. Great service from APMEX as always!
