JNDA 02-2. The first 100 yen coin, produced only two years in S32 and S33 (1957-1958). One side is the ho-ō bird (Japanese phoenix) with a sunburst/stylized cherry blossom design on the other. The 100 yen coin remained the largest circulating coin denomination until 1982 when the 500 yen coin was introduced.
