| Obverse description | Central round hole surrounded by a decorative arrangement of eight magatama (curved jewel) motifs rendered in high relief, forming a stylized floral or comma-based ornamental wreath. The chrysanthemum imperial seal appears above the hole, with the denomination characters flanking the central aperture. Short, thick sunray elements radiate in the background behind the central design, distinguishing this pattern from the standard issue. A fine beaded border encircles the entire design. |
