Nice Condition-- VF+ or slightly better-- w/some VERY Light "soiling" + wear; otherwise, o.k.....These little strips of paper--sometimes referred to as "bookmark money"-- were a form of scrip issued during Japan's Edo period. They were issued to supplement the shortage of metal coinage. Most hansatsu notes carried a value in silver, but were also issued in gold and even copper. The hansatsu note offered here is one of the medium-sized notes, and dates from the 1860's. Low beginning offer! Buyer pays $1.45S&H, slightly higher for postage outside the U.S. ***Please see scans. I am showing both sides of the note.
