Ancient Japanese Coin Bracelet on Leather
A coin that last changed hands in Japan over 150 years ago. Now it lives on your wrist.
This bracelet carries a genuine Japanese copper coin from the Tokugawa shogunate, the ruling dynasty that governed Japan from Edo Castle between 1603 and 1868. The coin is a mon, the everyday currency that circulated across Japan for over five centuries before the yen replaced it in 1870. It was acquired at a matsuri in a Shinto shrine outside Kyoto, aged, patinated, and carrying every mark of the centuries it has traveled through.
The coin sits at the center of a hand braided premium kangaroo leather cord, mounted with traditional sailor knots. Two dark Tahitian cultured pearls, 10 to 11mm, semi-baroque, grade C to B, flank the composition. One sits beside the coin, the other serves as clasp. The contrast between the dark luster of the pearls and the weathered copper of the coin is deliberate. Old world meets ocean. History meets the South Pacific.
The braid is entirely hand woven, reworked and conditioned for maximum flexibility and resistance. It will soften within days, darken over weeks, and shape itself to your wrist until it feels like something you have always worn.
This is not a reproduction. This is not a decorative token stamped to look old. This is a genuine coin from feudal Japan, mounted on leather and pearl by hand. The patina is real. The age is real. The story is real.
At $260, you are wearing a piece of Japanese history alongside two pearls from the South Pacific, held together by leather and the kind of craftsmanship that does not cut corners. There is nothing else like it at any price.
Made to order. Specify wrist circumference at checkout.
