Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the opening of the Kansai International Airport in Osaka, Japan, which was a major infrastructure project that was completed in 1994. The airport was built on an artificial island in Osaka Bay and was designed to be a state-of-the-art facility that could handle a large volume of passengers and cargo. The coin's design features an image of the airport's terminal building and runway, surrounded by a stylized representation of the sea and sky. The coin's mintage was limited to 30,000 pieces, making it a rare and collectible item for coin enthusiasts.
