2021 Japan 160-gm Silver National Treasure Yakushiji Temple Proof

Beautiful Japanese Culture That's Almost Never Seen Outside Japan!

Numismatic releases from Japan can often be tough to track down. Some, nearly impossibly so. The nation tends to release only tiny amounts of its mintages for overseas distribution. And in the case of the Japan Mint's National Treasure Medal series, it seldom happens! This 2021 release marks only the second time in the 10-plus-year history of this series that the Japan Mint is releasing a small portion of the silver and gold mintages to foreign nations. Of the 2,000 silver Proof medals that were struck, only 3% (just 60 pieces) are available for overseas markets—and we believe we may have the only medals available in the Western hemisphere!

A Beautiful Example Of Traditional Japanese Architecture

Struck in 160 grams of highly pure 99.9% fine silver, these medals display Yakushiji Temple, one of the most famous imperial and ancient Buddhist temples in Japan, represented by the temple's East Pagoda and a celestial figure playing a flute on its roof. The reverse design shows the inscription from the East Pagoda surrounded by the Four Auspicious Beasts as carved in temple's Buddha pedestal

Order Now Or Miss Out

Not only does this offer give you the opportunity to secure one of these fascinating gold medals, but each one comes in gorgeous Proof condition, meaning they were expertly crafted by the mint from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields. Plus, each will be accompanied by its original mint packaging and a Certificate of Authenticity from the Japan Mint. We were able to secure only 20 of these highly coveted silver medals and when they're gone, we doubt we'll ever be able to offer them again. So, hurry and get yours now while there's still time!
