| Reverse description | The copper-nickel centre features a stylised representation of a traditional Japanese cast Mon coin, incorporating a square central hole and rendered with latent image security elements visible at certain viewing angles. The four Japanese characters 地、方、自、治 (meaning 'local autonomy') are arranged around the square hole in the four cardinal positions, evoking the layout of classic Edo-period coinage. The nickel brass outer ring bears the circumferential Latin legend JAPAN 47 PREFECTURES COIN PROGRAM along the upper arc, with the denomination 500 YEN and the Japanese date inscription 平成 26 年 (Year 26 of Heisei) distributed along the lower arc. A beaded border runs along the inner and outer edges of the ring, and the issue sequence indicator (47/60) is incorporated within the design. |
