Table Tennis at Tokyo 2020

Table tennis is hugely popular in Japan, and the home crowd had plenty to celebrate at Tokyo 2020. Mixed doubles made its Olympic debut at the Games, and Japan’s Jun Mizutani and Mima Ito won the gold medal, giving the country its first ever Olympic table tennis title. That historic victory makes the Table Tennis coin one of the most meaningful designs in the series for collectors.

Originally due to take place in 2020, the Games were postponed for a year because of the COVID-19 pandemic and were held in the summer of 2021, keeping the “Tokyo 2020” name. The Japan Mint marked the occasion with a series of 1,000 Yen silver proof coins, each featuring a different Olympic or Paralympic sport. You can read more about the Games on the official Olympics website, or about the coin’s maker on the Japan Mint website.

Japanese Minting at Its Finest

The Japan Mint is renowned for the quality of its proof coins. Frosted relief, mirror-like fields, colour printing and a latent image – a hidden design that changes as the coin is tilted – all combine on this Tokyo 2020 Table Tennis silver proof coin. Struck from a full troy ounce (31.1g) of pure silver, it is a substantial and impressive coin in the hand, and the ginkgo leaves on the reverse are a symbol of the city of Tokyo itself.

A stunning modern commemorative combining exceptional Japanese minting techniques with the heritage of the Olympic Games. An excellent addition to collections of Olympic memorabilia, Japanese coinage or silver proof coins – and a superb gift for any table tennis player or sports fan.
