Additional information

Issued as part of Japan's ongoing commemorative program tied to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, this piece belongs to a sprawling multi-coin series that the Japan Mint produced across several years leading up to and following the Games — themselves delayed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The series was authorized under the Commemorative Coin Act and distributed primarily through lottery-based applications, meaning most examples went directly into collections without ever approaching circulation.

Wrestling returned to the Olympic program only in 2004 after a brief removal scare in 2013, when the IOC provisionally cut it before reversing course following significant international lobbying.
