| Reverse description | The reverse displays a bold central circular perforation encircled by a stylized gear wheel motif, symbolizing industry. A graceful drooping ear of rice (representing agriculture) arches from the upper right over the hole, while three sweeping curved lines suggesting water or waves rise from the lower left field. Beneath the central motif, the denomination 五円 (go-en, five yen) is inscribed in large Kanji within a rectangular panel flanked by horizontal decorative lines evoking stylized water. The overall composition embodies the postwar Japanese ideals of agricultural and industrial prosperity. |
