| Obverse description | The outer rim bears the English legend 'THE FIFTEENTH INTERNATIONAL COIN FESTIVAL TOKYO 1989' with Japanese legends in the central field reading the event name, date (first year of Heisei), location (Tokyo), and issuer (Japan Numismatic Dealers Association). A coiled snake in high relief occupies the center of the field, with small hallmark inscriptions at the base. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a finely detailed high-relief scene from the Garden of Eden: a nude female figure (Eve) stands in the left foreground, her long hair adorned with a floral wreath, reaching toward the Tree of Knowledge at right. A serpent coils around the trunk of the fruit-laden tree, extending toward Eve in temptation. The field is mirror-polished, contrasting with the frosted relief of the figural design. |
