Japan mint commenced selling commemorative Emperor of Japan commemorative coins

Link is only available in Japanese but it would be interesting to see if the Japan mint has learned their lessons about 20 years ago.

Mintage of the gold coin is up to 100,000* and 10 million for the 500 yen coin.

Previous coins commemorating the Emperor can be seen here: http://www.mint.go.jp/imperial/pdf/imperial_coin_list.pdf

*edited to fix from 10,000 to 100,000

P.S. if you don't feel confident, which I hope I am trustworthy enough, you can add a hyphen(-) at the end of the url to preview it before you go to the actual site.

Oh, BTW nice looking coin. Thanks for sharing!

 

That is a cool looking Phoenix coin. I bet they're gonna sell a ton of those. I wonder why they didn't just make a full oz. gold coin?
