| Reverse description | The official emblem of the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games occupies the central field, rendered as a stylized three-part geometric motif composed of interlocking rectangular segments evoking the Japanese traditional pattern of ichimatsu moyo, symbolizing unity and diversity. Beneath the emblem, the inscription TOKYO 2020 PARALYMPIC GAMES appears in two lines, accompanied by the International Paralympic Committee Agitos symbol. The circular legend TOKYO 2020 PARALYMPIC GAMES arcs along the upper periphery, while the lower arc bears the Kanji date 令和元年 (First year of Reiwa) flanked by dots and the denomination 100YEN, all inscriptions positioned within a plain inner border. |

Issued as part of Japan's Olympic and Paralympic commemorative program ahead of the Tokyo 2020 Games, this 100 yen piece belongs to a sprawling series of circulation-quality commemoratives released across multiple sports. The Tokyo Games themselves were delayed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic — making the 2019–2020 dating on issues like this one a quiet record of the original schedule.
At face value, these were spendable currency, though the sheer volume of the series meant many were set aside immediately upon release.
