OK, this is taken from a message posted over at the Samurai Archives Citadel Japanese History Forum (talk about a long name!)....

A koban is broken into four bu; there are ichibu and nibu coins, both in silver and gold. Each bu was also worth a kan, and there were 1000 mon (the zeni) per kan -- so a koban (ichi ryô) is worth 4000 mon.
