03 DESIGN & CONTEXT

Design & Collector Issue

Young Tree Design

The Proof record uses the established aluminum 1 Yen young-tree design and the Heisei date 平成四年.

Proof Finish

Proof refers to a collector-oriented manufacturing process, not a different denomination or calendar year.

Collector Issue Caution

The supplied Numista table identifies a Proof entry for this year. Japan Mint's annual year-dated production table is not treated here as a finish-exclusive Proof count. The archive therefore keeps the Proof record separate and avoids automatic addition or subtraction.

Reported Proof Quantity250,000 coins [supplied Numista table; secondary]

NUMERICAL RECONCILIATION — Japan Mint official year-dated production equals the supplied Numista standard-issue quantity plus its Proof quantity. This arithmetic agreement does not establish that Japan Mint officially publishes a finish-level split.
