Comment
Depicted are the restored model of an ancient building of Sannai-Maruyama Site of the Jomon Period (c.5,500-4,000 years ago) as well as the "goggle-eyed type" clay figurine from Kamegaoka Site of the Final Jomon Period (c.3,000-2,300 years ago) and the "praying-hands type" clay figurine from Kazahari 1 site of the late Jomon Period (c.3,500-3,000 years ago).Aomori is located at the northern tip of the mainland Japan. The climate is marked by short summer and long cold winter, with heavy snowfall especially in the western region.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique bimetallic design, with a copper-nickel center surrounded by a nickel brass ring. This distinctive design element sets it apart from other coins in the Heisei series and adds to its collectibility.
