Japan's government has unveiled designs for 5 commemorative coins for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics.

The coins are the first of about 30 to be issued in 4 installments in the run-up to the Games.

The 10,000-yen gold coin features an image depicting traditional horseback archery. It is accompanied by Chinese characters that mean strength of mind, technique and body.

The two 1,000-yen silver coins depict swimmers and judoists, respectively. The other two, for 100 yen, show fencing and the Paralympic sport of Boccia.
