The new ¥500 coins, minted in two colors to prevent counterfeiting, are the first redesign since 2000. The ministry in January postponed issuance of the new coins due to delayed updates to ticket and automated teller machines amid the pandemic. While the ministry plans to mint around 200 million of the new coins in fiscal 2021, the approximately 5 billion coins currently in circulation will still be usable. The new coins, which do not differ substantially from the current design, feature etchings on the inner rim.  22nd April 2021.

This design is a mix of two major elements of the Erasmus programme: the original intellectual inspiration, Erasmus himself, and the allegory of its influence over Europe. The first one is symbolised by one of the most known depictions of Erasmus. The second one is symbolised by a beam of links going across the coin from a beacon to another, representing the numerous intellectual and human exchanges between the European students. As a reference to Europe, some of these links form other stars, born from the synergy between the countries. Figure 35, for the 35th anniversary, comes out from the stars in a contemporary graphical style. It has been designed by the French engraver Joaquin Jimenez who won the design competition that was organised by the European Commission. The coin will be issued in all 19 EU-member states of the €-zone. Coins will go into circulation from 1 July 2022 onwards. 13th April 2021.
