| Obverse description | The obverse features an intricate decorative composition incorporating motifs drawn from Chinese ancient bronze ware, rendered in frosted relief against mirror-like proof fields. At center, the colored emblem of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games is prominently displayed, flanked by stylized ornamental elements derived from classical Chinese antiquity. The date '2008' appears within the design. The interplay of frosted reliefs against polished fields creates a striking cameo contrast characteristic of high-relief proof coinage. |
