2022 Japan 160-gm Silver National Treasure Kiyomizu-dera Temple Medal NGC MS70 First Releases w/Mount Fuji Label

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 2022 release marks only the third 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 medals that were struck, only 3.5% (just 70 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 Kiyomizu-dera Temple's main hall—the Hondo—standing on the cliff of Mount Otowa amid lush fall foliage. The reverse design features the Otowa waterfall, which was the starting point in 778 for Kiyomizu-dera Temple's construction.

Flawless Medals From Among The First Released

Not only does this offer give you the opportunity to secure one of these fascinating silver medals, but each one has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) as being in flawless Uncirculated Mint State-70 (MS70) condition, a distinction that means your perfectly-graded medal will have ZERO imperfections—showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended. In addition, NGC has certified these medals with a First Releases (FR) designation, meaning that they were received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository within the first 30 days of their release. Each will come sonically sealed in an acrylic holder and encapsulated with a Mount Fuji label. Plus, these medals will be accompanied by their original mint packaging and a Certificate of Authenticity from the Japan Mint.

Order Now Or Miss Out

We were able to secure only a handful 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!
