| Obverse description | A finely detailed frontal view of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests (Temple of Heaven) in Beijing occupies the central field, rendered with precise architectural detail across multiple tiered rooflines and colonnaded terrace walls. The Chinese legend 中华人民共和国 (People's Republic of China) curves along the upper periphery in bold characters. The date 1990 appears in the lower exergue in Arabic numerals. The mirror-like proof field provides strong contrast against the frosted architectural relief. |

China's platinum Panda series was introduced in 1988, just two years before this piece, targeting Western bullion investors at a moment when platinum commanded a significant premium over gold. The 1990 issue had a mintage of only 2,500 pieces — among the lowest in the series — struck at the Shenzhen Guobao Mint.
