    I don't usually collect modern commemoratives, but maybe I'll work on a Showa type set some day. From L to R:
    Showa 50 (1975) 100 Yen, Okinawa Expo Commemorative
    Showa 51 (1976) 100 Yen, 50th anniversary of Hirohito's reign
    Showa 61 (1986) 500 Yen, 60th anniversary of Hirohito's reign
    For some reason, the 1976 100 yen is almost exactly the size of the later 500 yen coin, though that type wouldn't be issued until 1982.
