| Obverse description | Central device features the Imperial Japanese sun emblem — a stylized rising sun with radiating rays rendered in incuse relief, enclosed within a raised inner circle. The surrounding annular field bears Japanese kanji characters and the Latin legend reading '5 SEN', all executed in incuse technique. The inscription reads 'Great Japan, Year 29 of Meiji, 5 Sen, Five Sen' arranged around the central motif. The entire design is bounded by a rope or cable border running along the rim. The overall composition reflects the distinctive incuse design style proposed for this pattern issue. |
