| Obverse description | Central field depicts a finely detailed aerial view of the Golden Summit (金顶) temple complex atop Mount Emei (峨眉山) in Sichuan Province, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished background. The multi-tiered traditional Chinese Buddhist architecture is shown with elaborate rooflines, surrounding stone walls, and rocky mountain terrain, with stylized clouds and pine trees framing the composition. The circular legend 中华人民共和国 (People's Republic of China) arcs across the upper field. Below the architectural scene, a smaller inscription reads 四川峨眉山金顶, identifying the depicted site, with the date 1999 prominently placed in the lower exergue. |
