The king is depicted without regalia or diadem, consistent with the standard Royal Mint bullion obverse portrait. A circumferential Latin legend runs around the field, separated by pellets, with the denomination and engraver's initials MJ appearing in the lower portion of the legend. |

| Additional information |
The sixth film in the Bond series, *You Only Live Twice* (1967) was the first to depart substantially from its source novel, establishing the template of spectacular location shooting and oversized villain infrastructure that would define the franchise for decades. Filming in Japan coincided with genuine Cold War anxieties about space-race brinkmanship, which the screenplay leaned into directly.
This is the fifth release in the Royal Mint's ongoing James Bond series, each tied to a specific film rather than the character broadly.
