| Reverse description | A radiant rising sun is depicted at center within a decorative floral cartouche, surrounded by a circular legend in kanji inscribed in two registers and separated by small paulownia flower (kiri) mon acting as punctuation devices. The legend reads 大日本 (Great Japan) and the regnal date corresponding to the year of issue in the Meiji era, together with the denomination 二十圓 (20 Yen). The design reflects the formal imperial aesthetic of the Meiji period, combining traditional Japanese heraldic motifs with a structured circular layout. |
