A lottery sale for the 2025 Japan World Expo commemorative 500 yen bicolor clad coins was held in March.
The odds of winning the lottery for the mint set were about 2 to 3 times.
Except for the mint set, redemption was held at financial institutions from April 8. I think it varies by region, but I asked at a financial institution and they had stock for about two days, so it seemed like this coin was not very popular. The number of coins exchanged at financial institutions is estimated to be 2,208,000.
