| Obverse description | Central field features a finely engraved historical scene depicting a horse-drawn mail carriage attended by postal workers in Meiji-era dress, evoking the early days of Japan's postal service. To the right, a traditional wooden post box mounted on a pillar is rendered in precise relief. The Japanese characters 日本国 (State of Japan) arc across the upper field in two groups flanking the central scene, while 壱万円 (10,000 Yen) is inscribed in two groups along the lower field. The overall composition is executed in a detailed, illustrative style consistent with modern Japanese commemorative coinage. |

| Reverse description | The central field presents a meticulously engraved frontal view of the Tokyo Central Post Office building, its modernist brick facade rendered in fine relief with glazed entrance doors and signage clearly depicted. The postal symbol (〒) appears prominently above the entrance. Encircling the building, the legend 郵便制度150年 (150 years of the postal system) arcs across the upper field in Japanese characters, while the lower arc bears the bilingual inscription • 10000 YEN • 令和3年 • (Year 3 of Reiwa), integrating Latin and Japanese scripts. The composition commemorates the sesquicentennial of Japan's postal system, established in 1871. |
