Beschrijving keerzijde Central design depicts two baseball players in action — a batter at left and a fielder at right — set against a detailed Tokyo skyline featuring the Tokyo Tower prominently in the centre, flanked by high-rise buildings. The inscription 'RETURN TO ATHENS' arcs along the upper legend, while 'JAPAN 1964' appears in the lower central field above a selectively coloured Japanese national flag (Hinomaru) rendered in red and white enamel. The denomination 'FIVE POUNDS' is inscribed along the lower periphery. The design commemorates Japan's hosting of the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games as part of the 'Return to Athens' series marking the 2004 Athens Olympics.

Aanvullende informatie

Gibraltar's issuing authority produced a substantial run of commemorative five-pound pieces through the early 2000s, licensing Olympic themes for coins that had no direct connection to the host nation. Japan received no royalties, and Gibraltar sent no athletes to Athens — the 2004 Games were held in Greece, not Japan, making the attribution on this piece either a forward-looking reference to Tokyo's then-active bid or a straightforward cataloging error that has never been formally resolved.
