| Obverse description | The obverse features a central depiction of Nintoku-ryo Tumulus (Daisen Kofun), the largest keyhole-shaped burial mound in Japan, located in Sakai, Osaka Prefecture, rendered in fine relief within the copper-nickel centre. The design is framed by the nickel brass ring bearing the country name legend 日本国 (Nihon-koku, State of Japan) at the top, flanked by the denomination 五百円 (500 yen) at the bottom. The prefecture name OSAKA appears in Latin characters above the Japanese 大阪府, both inscribed within the central field below the tumulus motif. The entire composition is surrounded by a beaded border along the inner edge of the ring, characteristic of the Japan 47 Prefectures Coin Program series. |
