This article is about the currency mon. You may be looking for kamon.
One golden mon

The mon (文) was the currency of Japan from the Muromachi period under the Ashikaga shogunate in 1336 until the early Meiji era in 1870.[1] Despite the fragmentation of power seen in the Sengoku period, with its many local warlords, the mon remained in use throughout the territory with little issue.[2]

Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]

In Assassin's Creed: Shadows, 1 gold Ōban (大判) can be sold for 62 mon despite the Ōban historically being first minted in 1588, 6 years after the game takes place, and having a value of 40,000 mon, where 4,000 mon = 1 ryō (両)[1] and 10 ryō = 1 Ōban.[3]
