| Reverse description | Central field presents a dynamic equestrian show-jumping scene, depicting a helmeted rider astride a horse clearing a fence obstacle, rendered in high relief with considerable sculptural detail. The composition is framed by an inner border of stylised Chinese fretwork or meander ornamental motifs, referencing the Beijing Olympic host nation. The legend JEUX D'ÉTÉ (Summer Games) is inscribed in the upper arc of the field. The plain field surrounding the central design provides a polished mirror-like contrast typical of proof coinage. |
