| Obverse description | The national emblem of the People's Republic of China occupies the upper-centre of the field, depicting Tiananmen Gate surmounted by five stars and encircled by sheaves of grain bound with a cogwheel at the base. Radiating lines fill the mirrored field, lending a sunburst effect to the polished surface. To the lower left, the official emblem of the Chinese Olympic Committee — comprising the five interlocking Olympic rings beneath a stylised flag bearing three stars — is shown. The Chinese legend 中国奥林匹克委员会 (Chinese Olympic Committee) arcs across the lower central field, with the denomination 1元 inscribed at the very bottom. |

| Reverse description | A dynamic figure of a speed skater is depicted in low relief at centre, shown in full stride with body inclined forward and one leg extended behind in classic racing posture. To the right of the skater, the official emblem of the XIII Winter Olympic Games at Lake Placid appears — a stylised letter 'L' overlaid with the five Olympic rings. An ornate decorative border of geometric and snowflake motifs frames the central design. A Chinese legend reading 第十三届冬季奥林匹克运动会 (13th Winter Olympic Games) arcs around the upper periphery in Chinese characters. The Latin legend LAKE PLACID 1980 is inscribed along the lower border. |
