The peripheral legend TOKYO 2020 PARALYMPIC GAMES encircles the upper half of the coin, while the date 平成31年 (Year 31 of Heisei) and the denomination 100YEN are inscribed along the lower margin, flanked by bullet separators. |

| Additional information |
Issued as part of Japan's Tokyo 2020 Paralympic commemorative series — delayed, like the Games themselves, by the pandemic — this piece honors goalball, a sport designed specifically for athletes with visual impairments. Japan has historically been a competitive goalball nation, with its women's team winning gold at the 2012 London Paralympics. The coin was released well before the Games took place, making the 2019 date something of an artifact of the original schedule.
