| Reverse description | The official emblem of the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 is prominently displayed on the left half of the field, while the right half features colorized sakura blossoms and ginkgo leaves — the latter being the prefectural tree of Tokyo — arranged in an elegant decorative composition. The design is encircled by a legend incorporating both Latin and Japanese inscriptions, with the year of issue expressed in the Reiwa imperial era notation. The colorized floral elements contrast with the polished proof fields, enhancing the coin's commemorative character. |

| Additional information |
Issued under Japan's commemorative coin program tied to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, this piece belongs to a multi-year series authorised well before the Games were postponed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The series launched in 2019 under the newly proclaimed Reiwa era — Emperor Naruhito had ascended the Paulownia Throne in May of that year, making these among the first Japanese commemoratives struck under his reign.
Face value of 1,000 yen on a 31.1g fine silver coin is largely nominal; secondary market prices reflect collector demand rather than any realistic circulation use.
