On the other side, a central hole is garnished by karakusa sprays; denomination across field, chrysanthemum above, paulownia below. A small but powerful Proof issue with a delicate layer of tone over the otherwise blast-white surfaces, struck-up rims that sharply halo the illustrative designs, and deeply reflective fields whose watery brilliance contrast beautifully against the thickly frosted motifs.
