Link is only available in Japanese but it would be interesting to see if the Japan mint has learned their lessons about 20 years ago.

Mintage of the gold coin is up to 100,000* and 10 million for the 500 yen coin.

Previous coins commemorating the Emperor can be seen here: http://www.mint.go.jp/imperial/pdf/...oin_list.pdf

* Edited to fix from 10,000 to 100,000

Which lessons are you referring to? Did they produce a number of poor-quality commemoratives in the past?

Here is an excellent link posted back in 1990

Too many coins were struck, high face value and finally counterfeits just made the this coin too unaffordable.
