Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 80th birthday of Emperor Akihito of Japan, who was born on December 23, 1933. The coin's design features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and an image of the Emperor on the other, surrounded by ornate details and inscriptions. The use of gold and the coin's high denomination of $100 reflect the significance of the occasion and the respect held for the Emperor.
