Cardsmiths Series 3 – Koban #29 – Amethyst 26/49
The Amethyst variant of Koban from Cardsmiths Series 3 honors one of Japan’s most recognizable forms of currency from the Edo period. Numbered 26/49, this limited-edition collectible bridges the elegance of feudal-era gold with the modern mystique of the Cardsmiths Currency Series.
Koban coins were oval-shaped pieces of gold used in feudal Japan, valued at one ryō — roughly equivalent to 330 pounds of rice. These coins represented not just wealth, but also social status and the craftsmanship of Japanese metallurgy.
The Amethyst finish enhances the historical tone with a deep royal purple shimmer — symbolizing wealth, wisdom, and the enduring power of currency across centuries.
