    Hmm Check my thread in The Rest of the World.  I will post some individual pictures.

    Here is a tidbit from Wikipedia about Tokugawa coinage
     
    Nibuban and Ichibuban[edit]
      A Tenpō silver Ichibuban (1837-1854). The Nibuban (二分判) was worth half a Koban and was rectangular gold coin.
    The Ichibuban (一分判) could be either made of silver or gold, in which case it was a quarter of a Koban. The gold Ichibuban of 1714 (佐渡一分判金) had a weight of 4.5 g, with 85.6% of gold and 14.2% of silver. The silver Ichibuban from 1837 to 1854 (Tenpō Ichibugin, 天保一分銀, "Old Ichibuban") weighed 8.66 g, with an alloy of 0.21% gold and 98.86% silver.[4]
    Nishuban and Isshuban[edit]
    There were then Nishuban (二朱判) and Isshuban (一朱判) small denominations of silver or gold, before getting to the Mon or Sen bronze coins.
    From 1853 to 1865, the silver Isshuban (Kaei Isshugin, 嘉永一朱銀) weighed 1.88 g, with an alloy of 1.7% gold, 98.7% silver and 1.12% copper.[4]
    Genroku gold Nishuban (1695-1710).
      Bunsei gold Isshuban (1819-1828).
     

    The sizes are small, The largest is the Ichibu Gin or Ichibuban Silver bar about 1/2" x 1" the others are smaller.  I have one that is about 3/4" by 2 inches.

    Greeting the New Century Dragon Note Commemorative Scaled-Down replicas in 1.8g Gold & 2g Silver.  I already have one in silver but I could only manage to find the gold in this set so had no choice but to pickup the gold as a set.  Issued in 2015 and fully authorised by the People's Bank of China and produced at one of their banknote printing and minting facilities.  Only 2000 gold were issued so was quite difficult and very very expensive to get hold of.  Silver had an issue of 8000 so was easier to obtain.
