| Obverse description | The obverse features a dynamic high-relief composition depicting three competitive swimmers in motion across the coin's field, rendered in a stylized manner evoking the flow of water through swirling decorative lines in the background. The uppermost figure executes the butterfly stroke, the central figure the freestyle crawl wearing goggles and a swim cap, and the lower figure the backstroke, all shown with expressive detail in their faces and hands. Kanji characters for 'Japan' (日本国) are positioned at the upper portion of the field, flanking the swimmers, while the denomination characters '千円' (1,000 yen) appear at the lower portion. The design conveys a sense of speed and athleticism through the fluid arrangement of the figures and the stylized water motifs in the surrounding field. |
