| Reverse description | Central design features a large stylized chrysanthemum or snowflake motif surrounded by cherry blossom sprays and a crescent, rendered in mirror-proof finish against a finely milled background. The largest snowflake element incorporates latent image technology, revealing concealed imagery when viewed from alternating angles. The commemorative legend '地方自治六十年' (60 Years of Local Autonomy) arcs across the field, with the denomination '1000 YEN' inscribed centrally, the Heisei era date '平成25年' at the base, and the series position indicator '(47/60)' denoting Shizuoka's place within the 47-prefecture commemorative program. |

| Additional information |
Part of Japan's 47 Prefectures Coin Program, a decade-long commemorative series launched in 2008 issuing two coins per prefecture. Shizuoka's entry appeared in the program's later phase. The prefecture sits between Tokyo and Osaka along the old Tōkaidō highway corridor, historically one of the most economically significant land routes in Japan, and was a major checkpoint under Tokugawa shogunate control.
Mintages for individual prefectural issues were capped and distributed primarily through Japan Post subscription, limiting secondary market supply considerably.
