| Reverse description | The reverse bears a vertically arranged inscription in Kanji characters reading 大日本 (Dai Nippon, 'Great Japan') in the upper and central field, with the era name and regnal year 昭和二十年 (Shōwa nijū-nen, 'Year 20 of the Shōwa era') rendered in smaller characters across the lower portion of the field. The layout is entirely typographic with no pictorial device, the plain flat field emphasizing the utilitarian wartime character of this emergency issue. The characters are boldly struck in a simple, unadorned style consistent with late-war tin-zinc coinage. |
