Comments
There is not much info around Bunrokutsūhō. Mostly believed to be issued by TOYOTOMI Hideyoshi, but He was busy with the the invasion of Korea, so it has some probability to be issued by his heir TOYOTOMI Hidetsugu.
It is said that Bunrokutsūhō was rewards for his retainer who has distinguished military service. As it has the shape of cash coin, it is beleived that it has circulated in limited area for only a short time.
