| Obverse description | Centered on the obverse is the national emblem of the People's Republic of China, depicting Tiananmen Gate surmounted by five stars and framed by sheaves of grain encircling a cogwheel at the base, rendered in high relief against a polished field. The national title inscription 中华人民共和国 (Zhōnghuá Rénmín Gònghéguó) arcs along the upper periphery in incuse Chinese characters. The date 2011 appears in the lower field beneath the emblem. The overall design is executed in the formal, authoritative style consistent with Chinese commemorative gold coinage of this era. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly stylized, geometrically rendered elevation of the Dengfeng Observatory (Gaocheng Astronomical Observatory), one of the ancient architectural monuments of the Dengfeng UNESCO World Heritage Site in Henan Province, depicted in bold relief with strong angular lines evoking traditional Chinese architectural draftsmanship. The structure is framed by decorative borders incorporating classical Chinese geometric motifs along the inner and outer rims. The denomination 10000元 is inscribed prominently in the lower central field, with the character 登 (Dēng) appearing to the left and 封 (Fēng) to the right of the architectural image, together forming the place name 登封. The composition balances monumental architecture with refined decorative elements characteristic of China's high-relief commemorative gold coinage. |
