| Obverse description | Central field features the Imperial chrysanthemum mon rendered in low molded relief, with the Kanji character 五 (go, meaning 'five') inscribed above and 錢 (sen) below, denoting the denomination of 5 Sen. The design is plain and utilitarian, reflecting the emergency wartime production context. The coin's white porcelain surface exhibits a fine-grained matte texture characteristic of molded ceramic coinage. A raised rim encircles the design on both sides. |
