Описание

Since its inception in 1883 the Japan Mint’s Cherry Blossom Viewing (Sakura no toorinuke) has enjoyed lasting popularity as one of Osaka’s best loved spring traditions. This year too the Japan Mint will release the 2020 Cherry Blossom Viewing Proof Coin Set to commemorate this traditional event.

This year, Cherry Blossom Viewing was unfortunately cancelled in order to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID 19). However, we have decided to sell annual coin sets featuring it for our customers awaiting this series.
