The 2024 Proof Coin Set features six proof-quality Japanese coins. In addition to the coins, it includes a sterling silver medal, with Burning Godzilla from the 1995 film on the obverse and the silhouette of the 1954 Godzilla on the reverse. The set comes with an explanation sheet in Japanese, a leather display case, and a paper slipcase. The production is capped at 20,000 sets, with only 89 sets allocated for overseas buyers.

Godzilla, first appearing in 1954, remains a significant figure in global pop culture. These coin sets serve as a marker of the franchise’s history, with limited quantities available, particularly for international collectors. The medals featured in both sets depict different versions of Godzilla from the films, highlighting key moments in the monster’s cinematic history. The use of specific techniques, such as frosting on the silver medal in the proof set, adds to the detailed craftsmanship.
