| Reverse description | The large numeral 100 dominates the upper central field in bold relief, serving as the primary denominational statement. Immediately below, the five interlocking Olympic rings are centrally positioned, commemorating the 1972 Sapporo Winter Olympic Games. Two stylized snowflake ornaments flank the numeral 100 in the middle field, one to the left and one to the right. The year 1972 and the Japanese characters 札幌 (Sapporo) appear in the upper legend, while the regnal date 昭和４７年 (Year 47 of the Shōwa era) is inscribed along the lower border. |
