| Obverse description | The central field depicts a group of fukinagashi (streaming decorative streamers) and tanzaku (poem strip) ornaments characteristic of the Sendai Tanabata Matsuri festival, rendered in fine relief against a polished background. A sprig of bamboo with leaves is visible to the right of the composition, evoking the traditional Tanabata bamboo pole display. The legend 日本国 (State of Japan) arcs along the upper border within a beaded inner circle, while 五百円 (500 yen) appears along the lower border. The prefecture name is inscribed in both Latin script (MIYAGI) and kanji (宮城県) in the right field. |
