This coin was minted earlier than the Setaka above but used the same method. The Tsuu Hou characters are from the Yong Le coin and the Tai Se characters are added on. This variety has the top of the Tsuu character missing, probably accidentally cut off when carving out the Yong and Le characters to make the mother coin of this coin. It is a common and recognized variety, but not very handsome. I like the name hower. Taise means "Great World" and one senses the excitement of Ryuukyuu's maritime commercial empire which flourished at this time. This coin was found in Java.
