| Reverse description | A highly detailed full-color composition commemorating the opening of the Hokkaido Shinkansen line in 2016. The H5 series bullet train is depicted in high relief traversing its track diagonally across the center of the field, rendered in polished silver against a vivid colorized nocturnal panorama of a Japanese coastal cityscape. Behind the train, a stylized outline map of Hokkaido island is visible in pale blue, while the lower field features colorized imagery evoking traditional Japanese culture and landscape. A decorative border of purple arrow motifs encircles the design, and the legend 2016 HOKKAIDO SHINKANSEN is inscribed in raised lettering along the lower periphery. |
