| Obverse description | Within an eight-lobed scalloped field, the national emblem of the People's Republic of China is depicted centrally, featuring Tiananmen Gate surmounted by five stars, framed by ears of grain and a cogwheel at the base. The legend 中华人民共和国 (People's Republic of China) arcs around the upper portion of the field in Chinese characters. The date 2011 appears in the lower exergue. The entire design is struck in deeply mirrored proof finish against a highly polished gold ground. |

| Reverse description | Two rabbits are depicted in high relief against a polished proof field within the eight-lobed scalloped border: a larger rabbit occupies the lower foreground in three-quarter view, rendered with fine textural detail to its fur, while a second rabbit appears in the upper left background in profile. The denomination 10000元 is inscribed in the upper right field, and the cyclical Chinese year designation 辛卯 appears in the lower left, identifying the Year of the Rabbit in the traditional sexagenary cycle. The composition conveys a naturalistic, serene aesthetic characteristic of Chinese lunar commemorative coinage. |
