Subject:Translation For ? (Not Sure What This Is)
Posted By: Dave H Wed, Jul 13, 2022 IP: 23.230.46.27
Not sure what this is or used for, also if it is older or a reproduction. Could this be some type of mythology? Translation of what this means and a possible time frame as to when this would have been made is appreciated.
Thanks to all ......

This is a Japanese paper note issued by the regional
Shibamura clan of Yamato Province (corresponding to present-day Nara Prefecture).
Main inscriptions;
Face side,
和州　芝村　Washu Shibamura
(Washu is the alternative name of Yamato Province)
Back side,
銀壹匁　Gin 1 Monme　-　Silver 1 Monme
延享貮乙丑年　
五月吉祥日
On an Auspicious Day of May in the 2nd- Wood-Ox -Year of Enkyo Era (1745)

During the Edo period the Shogunate issued gold, silver and copper coins. At the same time the clans that ruled different areas of Japan issued their own paper notes with as much as 200 different varieties of clan money in circulation.

With regards,
