Obverse description A finely detailed ho-oh (phoenix) in high relief dominates the field, depicted with outstretched wings and head raised, soaring above a stylised landscape featuring a stone bridge, a pond with boats, and traditional Japanese palace architecture amid pine trees to the left. The entire composition is rendered in exceptional sculptural detail characteristic of Japanese commemorative proof coinage, evoking the imagery of the Imperial Palace grounds. The design is enclosed by an inner beaded border, with the polished proof fields providing strong contrast to the frosted devices.
