| Obverse description | The national emblem of the People's Republic of China occupies the central field, depicting the Tiananmen Gate surmounted by five stars — one large and four smaller — encircled by a wreath of grain stalks tied at the base with a gear wheel. The denomination '1 元' is inscribed below the emblem in bold numerals and Chinese characters. Decorative foliate and scroll ornaments in a traditional Chinese style frame the lower portion of the field on both sides, lending the design an ornamental quality consistent with commemorative coinage of this period. |
