Reverse description A detailed depiction of the Temple of Heaven (Qiniandian) occupies the central field, rendered in perspective view with its distinctive triple-eaved circular roof and raised marble terrace platform with balustrades extending to either side. Chinese characters arcing along the upper portion of the field read '五千年的文明與發現' (Five Thousand Years of Civilisation and Discovery). To the upper left, the millennium year '2000' is inscribed, and to the right the legend MING DYNASTY / 1368 / 1644 identifies the commemorated dynasty. The inscription THE TEMPLE OF HEAVEN appears across the lower central field, and the denomination $1 is placed at the bottom of the coin.
