Identity before movement
One coin, several relationships
The network explains movement without turning a Mexican coin into a Chinese issue or a Japan-minted foreign coin into a Japanese issue.
Keeps its issuing country, authority, type, date, mint, and issue ID.
Adds a dated jurisdiction relationship; it never creates a domestic issue.
A chop, official countermark, cut, or graffiti stays attached to the host.
Mint facility and client authority remain separate from the issuer and canonical country.
Trade coin, not duplicate catalog
A 420-grain Japanese response to an established market
The canonical Japan page owns types and issues. This page explains intended competition and network context without claiming equal acceptance at every port.
