| Obverse description | Central round hole surrounded by a prominent stalk of rice curving across the upper field, symbolising agriculture. The lower field features stylised water waves representing fisheries, with the denomination numeral flanked by the wave motif. A partial gear or cog device encircles the central hole, symbolising industry. The overall design integrates the three pillars of the postwar Japanese economy in a unified composition rendered in the Kaisho (block-script) artistic style. |
