| Obverse description | The obverse is struck in Ruyi-shaped format and features a large, ornate Chinese character composition rendering the auspicious phrase '吉祥' (Ji Xiang, meaning 'auspicious' or 'good luck') prominently in the centre of the field, rendered in a traditional decorative style. The central characters are surrounded by elaborate scrolling floral and cloud-scroll relief motifs evoking classical Chinese decorative art. The legend '中华人民共和国' (People's Republic of China) arcs across the upper portion of the field in Chinese characters. The date '2023' appears in the lower exergue in Arabic numerals. The entire design is executed with a deeply contrasting proof finish, with mirrored fields set against frosted relief elements. |

| Additional information |
Part of the People's Bank of China's ongoing thematic bullion series, this issue falls within a program that has expanded aggressively since the early 2000s as China developed its collector coin market into one of the largest in the world. Mintage figures for these silver issues are set by the PBoC and not always disclosed in advance, though the 30g .999 silver format has become the de facto standard for this category of commemorative release.
