Obverse description The obverse features a stylized depiction of the XI Asian Games emblem — a torch-like figure derived from the form of the Great Wall — set above a detailed rendering of the Workers' Gymnasium in Beijing, with a sculptural group at its entrance. A sunburst device appears at the top of the emblem. The Chinese national name 中华人民共和国 arcs along the upper periphery in large Chinese characters, while the legend 第十一届亚洲运动会 (11th Asian Games) appears in the lower field, with the year 1989 at the bottom.

Reverse description The reverse depicts a dynamic figure of a male tennis player in mid-stride, lunging forward with a racket in a forehand stroke, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. Diagonal speed lines emanate from the racket to convey motion. The Games mascot — a small panda figure — appears to the upper left of the player. The denomination 10元 is inscribed at the upper right, with the legend XI ASIAN GAMES and the year 1990 arranged diagonally to the right of the central figure.
