| Beschrijving voorzijde | Against a mirror-proof field, a finely detailed qilin (Chinese unicorn) strides vigorously to the right atop stylized auspicious clouds, its scaled body, flowing mane, and flame-like appendages rendered in high relief. A smaller qilin cub appears below and to the right, also set among clouds, accompanied by the two-character inscription 麒麟 to the right of the main figure. The circular legend 中华人民共和国 (People's Republic of China) arcs around the upper portion of the field, and the date 1997 appears in the lower exergue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Chinese Unicorn series ran for only a handful of years in the 1990s before being discontinued, making it one of the shorter-lived bullion programs from the Shanghai and Shenzhen mints. The 1997 issue appeared in the final stretch of that run, the same year sovereignty over Hong Kong transferred from Britain to China — a moment the mint marked across several commemorative programs, though the Unicorn series itself remained separate from those issues.
Low original mintages relative to the Panda series have made surviving Unicorn pieces genuinely difficult to source in quantity.
