The encircling legend 中华人民共和国 (People's Republic of China) arcs along the upper periphery, while the commemorative inscription 中国人民解放军建军七十周年 (70th Anniversary of the Founding of the People's Liberation Army) runs along the lower border. The characters 八一 (August 1st, the founding date of the PLA) appear prominently below the star, and the date 1997 is positioned at the base of the design. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a finely detailed historical scene in high relief showing a group of military figures and civilian personnel gathered in an interior setting, rendered in a Socialist Realist artistic style. A central standing figure addresses the assembled group, suggesting a pivotal revolutionary meeting or political commissar address from the early history of the People's Liberation Army. The figures are dressed in period military and civilian attire, with architectural elements such as windows and doorways visible in the background. The denomination 10元 appears in the lower portion of the design within a recessed rectangular panel, providing a clear contrast against the detailed pictorial field above. |
