| Beschrijving keerzijde | A finely detailed high-relief rendering of the Imperial Japanese Navy battleship Yamato underway at sea occupies the central field, depicted in three-quarter profile with its superstructure, gun turrets, and rigging rendered in exceptional sculptural detail. A gilt Imperial Chrysanthemum Seal of Japan — the sixteen-petalled mon — is applied in selective gold gilding at the upper portion of the field, serving as a prominent heraldic emblem of the Imperial Japanese Navy. The two-character Japanese inscription meaning 'Yamato' appears in the lower field in the Kanji script. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Yamato was the largest battleship ever built by displacement — 72,000 tons fully loaded — and was sunk on April 7, 1945, by American carrier aircraft during Operation Ten-Go, a one-way mission to beach herself on Okinawa and fight as a shore battery. Of the 2,700 men aboard, 269 survived. She now rests in roughly 340 meters of water in the East China Sea, split in two by the magazine explosion that finally finished her.
