| Reverse description | The reverse features a central circular medallion in polished relief depicting a kinshachi (mythical carp-fish creature), the iconic golden roof ornament of Nagoya Castle, shown in profile with scaled body and fierce head. The legend NAGOYA CASTLE curves along the lower interior of the circle. Below the central medallion, a square cartouche and a fan-shaped motif with Japanese characters appear in relief, mirroring the obverse design. The surrounding field is decorated with rows of small recessed dashes. |
