With only 1.6% of these coins surviving, it garners significant interest from collectors focused on historical Japanese numismatics. The design by Natsuo Kano is a hallmark of the era, and the rarity of this type, characterized by its low survival rate and specific production flaws, enhances its desirability within specialized circles in the Japanese collectible market.
