Obverse description Central depiction of the Temple of Heaven (Tiantan) in Beijing, rendered in fine detail with its characteristic triple-eaved circular hall set upon a tiered marble terrace and surrounding balustrade wall. The Chinese legend 中华人民共和国 (People's Republic of China) arcs along the upper periphery in raised characters. The date 1989 appears in the lower exergual area in Arabic numerals.
