These silver coins were issued to commemorate the enforcement of Japan’s Local Autonomy Law.
Each of the 47 prefectures has its own unique design.
The Nara Prefecture coin features the Daigokuden Main Hall,
cherry blossoms, and kemari (a traditional ball game).
The Daigokuden Main Hall is a historic site located in Nara Prefecture. It is a historic site that symbolizes the prosperity of the Nara period, commemorating the 1300th anniversary of the transfer of the capital to Heijo, and the First Daigokuden Main Hall, the central building of the Heijo Palace ruins, was selected for the design.
The lower right features the Nara Prefecture flower, the Nara Yaezakura cherry blossom, and the center depicts kemari, a traditional ball game that has continued since the Nara period.
The Heijō Palace Site is designated as a national special historic site. It is also one of the “Cultural Properties of the Ancient Capital of Nara” registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
