| Obverse description | The obverse presents an elaborately engraved composition featuring two phoenixes (hō-ō) in flight, rendered in a highly stylized Japanese classical decorative manner. The mythical birds are depicted amid swirling clouds and auspicious wave patterns that fill the entire field, conveying imperial grandeur and celestial symbolism. Fine detailing of feathers, tail plumage, and scrolling clouds is executed in high relief, reflecting the artistic style of designer Ikuo Hirayama. The composition occupies the full field, framed by a continuous beaded border along the inner rim. |
