The Japan Mint has struck this legal tender 10.000 yen gold and 1000 yen silver coins as part of the Great East Japan Earthquake reconstruction project, which has been designated as a national project. This coin is issued as the third in series out of four under the Great East Japan Earthquake Reconstruction Project Commemorative Coin Program.

The reverse of this third Silver coin features a young boy showing his support for Japan with two Japanese flags in both hands. The common obverse depicts a lone pine tree that survived the tsunami in Rikuzentakata. This “miracle pine”, which became a symbol of the reconstruction, is surrounded by pigeons.
