| Obverse description | Central field features Miraitowa, the official mascot of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, depicted in a stylized cartoon form with its characteristic indigo-blue checkered body and distinctive three-pointed head, rendered in a dynamic standing pose with one arm raised. A pattern of scattered geometric square motifs surrounds the mascot figure in the field, evoking the traditional Japanese ichimatsu pattern that formed the basis of the Games' official emblem. The legend 日本国 (State of Japan) is inscribed around the upper periphery in Japanese characters, with the denomination 百円 (100 Yen) appearing at the lower rim, all characters presented within square cartouches at the four cardinal positions. |
