| Obverse description | The national emblem of the People's Republic of China occupies the central field, depicting the Gate of Tiananmen above a decorative gear and wheat sheaf wreath, surmounted by five stars in a constellation arrangement. The circular legend 中华人民共和国 (People's Republic of China) arcs around the upper periphery in Chinese characters. The date 1994 appears in Arabic numerals at the base of the design within the lower field. The motif is struck in high relief against a mirror-polished proof field, producing strong contrast between the frosted devices and the reflective background. |
