About the Item
This DUBINI coin necklace from the 'Empires' collection features an authentic rare gold koban coin minted circa 1860-1867 set in 18K yellow and white gold with rose cut diamonds.
DEPICTED ON THE COIN
Edo Period. Man-En Koban (1860-1867)
Obverse: Floral motifs in Paulonia (Kiri) in the shape of a fan above scrolls with the value, name and signature; lines etched across the fields.

HISTORY
The Japanese koban coin, particularly the MAN-EN Koban, holds a rich historical significance dating back to the Edo period (17th to 19th centuries) in Japan. Koban coins were first introduced in 1601 during the reign of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate. These oval-shaped gold coins were minted to stabilise the country’s monetary system and facilitate trade. The MAN-EN Koban, specifically, was issued during the Man’en era (1860-1861) and featured unique artistic designs on its surface. They were widely used in commerce and symbolised the wealth and stability of Japan during this pivotal era of its history. Today, the MAN-EN Koban is not only a valuable numismatic artefact but also a cultural representation of Japan’s prosperous past.

HISTORY
This unique design features two youthful male heads positioned side by side, one upright and the other inverted. This captivating motif has been variously interpreted as representing the Dioscuri, the rising and setting sun, or the two branches of the river Danube.
The Dioscuri, Castor and Pollux, epitomised courage and bravery and were especially revered by soldiers and cavalry. Renowned as protectors of sailors, they were believed to have the power to calm seas and still winds. In Rome, their legendary intervention at the Battle of Lake Regillus in 496 B.C. secured a pivotal victory for the Romans against the Latins. Their legacy was celebrated with annual games featuring horse racing on January 27th, highlighting their strong association with horsemanship.
The constellation Gemini is intrinsically linked to the Dioscuri. Sharing the same mother, Leda, Castor was the mortal son of Tyndareus, the king of Sparta, while Pollux was the divine offspring of Zeus. Together, they joined Jason on the Argo and famously saved the ship from a deadly storm. When Castor perished in battle, Pollux implored Zeus to reunite them.
