| Additional information |
Issued to commemorate the ongoing reconstruction of the Tōhoku region following the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami — a disaster that killed nearly 20,000 people and triggered the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear meltdown. The coin was part of a broader government initiative tying numismatic releases to reconstruction funding awareness, a practice the Japanese Mint had used selectively since the 1960s Meiji centennial issues.
Collector demand was deliberately managed through limited prefecture-specific distribution channels rather than general circulation.
