Obverse description Black letterpress print on a narrow vertical format, with a diagonal red overstamp seal in Chinese seal script at centre. The upper register carries a vignette of the deity Ebisu seated in three-quarter view, holding a fishing rod in his right hand and cradling a fish in his left arm, surrounded by the Takarazukushi auspicious objects — Kakuregasa, Kakuremino, Tsutsumori, Uchide-no-kozuchi, Hōju, and Shippō — arranged clockwise around him. The central field is divided into denomination and market-price text cartouches, while the lower register presents a turtle in left profile carrying a Cintāmaṇi gem, set against a stylised wave ground.
