Yamada Hagaki: An Investigation of Japan’s Oldest Private Paper Currency

2024

Study of Economic History 27 (2024), pp. 202–187; introduction, sections 2–3, Figure b and note 1

jstage.jst.go.jp ↗
Review notes

The publisher lists pp. 202–187: the printed page numbers descend. This is the source’s pagination, not a reversed range in this bibliography.

The article’s Figure a caption gives 1615, while the text and transcription key give 1623. The discrepancy remains unresolved; this specimen is not used for a dated event.
