| Reverse description | Central round hole encircled by a toothed gear motif, symbolising industry, with a stylised rice ear (稲穂) arching from the lower right to the upper field, representing agriculture. Horizontal lines in the lower field suggest water, evoking Japan's reliance on aquatic resources. The denomination 五円 (5 yen) is rendered in bold Gothic-style kanji in the lower field. The entire design is framed by multiple concentric raised rims, giving the coin a clean, modernist aesthetic consistent with its postwar series. |
