| 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. |
