The grounds of the Japan Mint contain many, many cherry trees and. every year, during the cherry blossom sakura season, the grounds are opened to the public for an event known as 'Cherry Blossom Viewing (Sakura no toorinuke)'. Since its inception in 1883 it has remained a beloved spring tradition.
For 2008, the Japan Mint's Cherry Blossom Coin Set featured a special silver medallion, only available in this set! Commemorating the Year of the Mouse, the medallion is diamond-shaped, 17.5 millimetres across, and comprises 4.3 grams of silver.
Please note: Silver medallion has some natural toning, as one might expect from an 18 year old coin set.
