However, in reality, the Meiji Government at the time (before the return of lands and people to the emperor) did not have the authority to give orders to various domains (therefore the notice of Daijokan [Grand Council of State], which was more of a request, was issued instead of the edict of Daijokan, which was a command from the Meiji Government), and particularly the Satsuma and Tosa Domains used their position as a "victor country" and still continued to coin counterfeit money.
だが、実際には当時（版籍奉還以前）の明治政府は諸藩に対して命令を下す権限を持っておらず（従って明治政府の命令である太政官布告ではなく、要請に近い太政官達が出されていた）、特に薩摩・土佐両藩は「戦勝国」の立場を利用してその後も贋貨を鋳造続けたのである。
