| Description | A Nagasawa product bill (長沢産物手形). This was issued by the Nagasawa-Matsudaira clan (長澤-松平氏) in Mikawa province (三河), present day Aichi Prefecture. The denomination is one hundred silver mon (錢百文). The date on the bill says 1730 CE (享保十五 Kyoho 15) but it was likely printed at a later date. The obverse has the treasures of the seven luck gods at the top: a hat of invisibility, a coin, a treasure bag, a rhinoceros horn, a magic mallet, an ingot, and a cloak of invisibility. The reverse has a wish granting jewel on a table. |
