Japanese Culture Amaterasu Commemorative Coin

This commemorative coin is a fascinating blend of Japanese mythology and British heritage. The obverse side showcases Amaterasu, the sun goddess in Japanese mythology, depicted holding a sword and the Yata no Kagami (Eight – hand Mirror), symbols of power and wisdom.

The “IRB” mark adds a personal touch from the designer or engraver.
