| Obverse description | The obverse features the official emblem of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games at centre, depicting a stylized running figure rendered in the manner of a traditional Chinese seal script character, set within an oval cartouche inscribed 'Beijing 2008' above the five Olympic rings and the legend 'THE GAMES OF THE XXIX OLYMPIAD' in small lettering below. The field is decorated with a radiating geometric latticework pattern suggestive of the Bird's Nest stadium structure. The Chinese legend 中华人民共和国 (People's Republic of China) arcs around the upper periphery in raised Chinese characters, and the date 2008 appears in large numerals at the bottom of the field. |
