| Reverse description | A dynamic central device depicts a speed skater in full racing crouch, leaning forward with arms swept back, set against the front elevation of a Japanese Shinkansen bullet train occupying the right half of the field, evoking the dual themes of speed and the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics. The curved legend WINTER OLYMPICS JAPAN arcs across the upper field, while the denomination 1 CROWN is displayed in two lines at the bottom. A beaded border surrounds the composition. |
