Surrounding this central device are inscriptions denoting the issuing authority, denomination, and regnal date, separated by sakura (cherry blossom) ornaments. The entire design is enclosed within a decorative border representing the sacred mirror (kagami), one of the three Imperial Treasures of Japan, rendered in an intricate geometric framework consistent with Taishō-era minting aesthetics. |
