DescriptionKanoude Genyuu Tsuuhou - Dr. Luke Roberts 02.png
English: Kanoude Genyuu Tsuuhou 叶手元祐通 宝
This coin exists in a great number of varieties including those with many different markings on the back. It is based on the seal script version of the Northern Song Chinese Yuan You Tong Bao but is easily distinguishable by the top Yuan (J. Gen) character which seems to be standing on tip toe. The final direction of the right leg points straight down, unlike the Chinese varieties.
Kanoude Genyuu Tsuuhou, Wide Shell Hou
This version of the coin has no character on the back side.The name comes from the bottom portion (which means "shell") of the left Hou character being wider than normal on this coin. The Gen also character stands especially high on this version. This one unfortunately has a crack at 2:00.
