Japan: Tokugawa coinage: Oban, Koban, Ichibuban (1601-1695).

The Tokugawa shogunate, also known as the Tokugawa bakufu and the Edo bakufu, was a feudal regime of Japan established by Tokugawa Ieyasu and ruled by the shoguns of the Tokugawa family. This period is known as the Edo period and gets its name from the capital city, Edo, which is now called Tokyo, after the name was changed in 1864. The Tokugawa shogunate ruled from Edo Castle from 1603 until 1868, when it was finally abolished during the Meiji Restoration.
