| Reverse description | The reverse features a highly detailed, large-scale depiction of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests at Beijing's Temple of Heaven, occupying the majority of the field in bold high relief, with intricate rendering of the three-tiered circular roof, ornate eave brackets, and cylindrical base adorned with decorative panelling. Celebratory fireworks burst dramatically across the upper field to either side of the finial, evoking a festive atmosphere. The legend 'BEIJING – TEMPLE OF HEAVEN' arcs along the upper border in Latin characters, accompanied by the Chinese characters '天坛' positioned vertically along the right inner border. The date '2023' appears in the lower right field. The antiqued silver finish enhances the sculptural depth of the architectural and decorative elements throughout. |
