Japanese character 元 (ghen) in 1695

In response to the convincing tone of argument in User:Buu's comments and in acknowledgment of User:Oda Mari's credible criticism, I did move the questionable text to Talk:Japanese yen/Archives/2012#Etymology. But I'm of two minds here. Almost immediately afterwards, I re-posted two of the three sentences:

En literally means "round object" in Japanese, as yuan does in Chinese, referring to the ancient Chinese coins that were circular in shape and widely used in Japan up to the Tokugawa Period. In 1695, the character 元 (ghen), signifying "round or rounded") was placed on the obverse of copper coins.[1]

Does this present a problem for you? If so, what would propose as a better strategy for the near term?

What do you think? --Ooperhoofd (talk) 18:59, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
