| Reverse description | Two busts in high relief occupy the upper field: a grimacing demon-like face to the left and a calmer face holding a mask to the right, symbolising Japan's dual nature. Below, a tablet bears a six-line German verse inscription, with the date 1914 and the mintmark KG in the lower exergue. The legend AN JAPAN flanks the busts at upper left and right. |
