| Obverse lettering | THE JAPANESE GOVERNMENT 1/2 SHILLING 大日本帝國政府 |
| Reverse description | Printed entirely in purple, the reverse is dominated by two large guilloche rosettes flanking the centre, each enclosing the fractional denomination '1/2' in white relief. An elaborate interlocking lathe-work underprint of cloud-form guilloche patterns fills the central field, with smaller ornamental scrollwork in the upper corners. The overall design is geometric and symmetrical, with no textual inscription other than the implicit denomination rendered through the guilloche numeral panels. |
