| Reverse description | The central field displays the official National Parks of Japan unified logo, comprising a stylized square emblem with a curved cutout rendered in a red-to-blue gradient, evoking landscape and sky. Above the logo, the inscription 'National Parks of Japan' appears in three lines in Latin script. Surrounding the central device, a circular legend in Chinese characters and Latin numerals reads '国立公園制度100年' (100th Anniversary of the National Park System), interspersed with dot separators, and continues with '1000YEN' and '令和7年' (Year 7 of Reiwa), all arranged around the periphery of the field within the reeded border. |

| Additional information |
Daisetsuzan, covering roughly 2,267 square kilometers in central Hokkaido, became Japan's largest national park in 1934 under the National Parks Law enacted just two years prior — the country's first systematic attempt to codify landscape preservation. The park's Ainu name, "Kamui Mintara," translates loosely as "playground of the gods," a designation that long predates Japanese administrative boundaries.
This piece belongs to Japan Mint's ongoing prefectural commemorative silver program, which rotates through Japan's 47 prefectures. Hokkaido's sheer geographic scale — roughly 22% of Japan's total land area — has given it recurring prominence across the series.
