This piece belongs to Japan's long-running commemorative program tied to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, for which the Mint Bureau issued an ambitious multi-series run of silver and clad coins across several years leading up to the Games — ultimately postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The program was administered in numbered series, and swimming appeared across multiple releases given Japan's competitive depth in the sport at the international level.
Collector demand for the complete Olympic run drove secondary market premiums well above issue price on several issues, particularly among Japanese domestic buyers.
