It is an important currency in the early Edo period of Japan (1603-1868), named after the era name "Kan'ei" at that time. This type of coin was first minted in the third year of Kan'ei (1626) by the Tokugawa shogunate in order to standardize the monetary system and maintain sufficient supply of copper coins. The casting of Kan'ei Toho marks an important period in the history of Japanese currency, with a huge amount of casting, a long casting time span, numerous versions, and materials including copper, iron, etc. Over time, the Kan'ei Tongbao gradually withdrew from circulation, but it held an important position in the currency history of Japan and even East Asia.
