Japan 100 Yen Olympic Silver

Although Japan was to host the 1940 Olympics, which were cancelled due to World War 2, Tokyo was selected to host the games in 1964, becoming the first Asian nation to stage a summer Olympiad. To mark the event, the government minted these 100 yen coins, which were the last of this denomination to be struck in silver. On the obverse there are the Olympic rings against a backdrop of a torch, while the reverse shows the denomination and date. All the coins are in Uncirculated condition.
