| Reverse description | Central colorized vignette depicting the Gion Matsuri festival procession in Kyoto, Japan, featuring elaborately decorated yamaboko floats adorned with traditional textiles and figurines being paraded through an urban street setting, reproduced in vivid full-color photographic detail. The arcing legend JAPANESE TRADITIONAL FESTIVALS COLLECTION frames the upper portion of the design, while the purity mark .9999 appears at the lower right of the inner field. The colorized scene is set within a polished gold border, creating a striking contrast between the naturalistic imagery and the coin's metallic surround. |
