| Obverse description | Heart-shaped flan bearing an elaborate symmetrical design composed of traditional Chinese auspicious motifs rendered in fine relief against a mirror-polished field. At center, a large stylized shou (longevity) character is formed by intricately interlaced ruyi-cloud scrollwork and floral tendrils, creating a dense, lace-like decorative composition. The upper portion of the heart features a rectangular cartouche containing the legend 中华人民共和国 (People's Republic of China), flanked by additional scrollwork filling the lobes of the heart. The date 2019 appears in the lower field beneath the central motif. |
