The commemorative legend '御即位記念' (Commemorating the enthronement of the emperor) is distributed in Japanese characters around the upper periphery of the field. The lower portion carries the denomination '500円' in Arabic numerals and Japanese script, separated by a raised dot, followed by '平成2年' denoting the second year of the Heisei era, arranged along the lower border. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner border.
