I wouldn't doubt that Lords and Paymasters had to issue promissory notes in times that silver is often in short supply. Japan has not been blessed with a lot of mineral resources.
I have seen illustrated books of Japanese mints managed by Samurai of certain rank and loyalty. Each of the little bars bear the Mint name, and the mint master's surname.
