・Interestingly, most of the clan bills issued in 1870 had the same design, regardless of the region in which they were issued. It is highly likely that it was actually the Meiji government that issued those clan bills, but no records of this.

・The Meiji government banned the use of clan bills in 1872. At that time, many of the clan bills had their ears cut off and were disposed of.
