| Obverse description | The national emblem of the People's Republic of China occupies the central field, depicting Tiananmen Gate surmounted by five stars — one large star flanked by four smaller stars — all within a decorative circular border of stylized floral and scroll motifs in high relief. The inscription '中华人民共和国' (People's Republic of China) arcs along the upper periphery in Chinese characters. The date '2017' appears in the lower exergue. The overall design is rendered in deeply struck proof-like relief against a polished gold field. |

| Reverse description | A boldly rendered cockerel stands in full profile facing left in the central field, depicted in high sculptural relief with detailed feathering across its breast, wings, and tail plumage. A stylized phoenix or secondary bird motif with radiating sunburst lines appears in the background to the upper right, evoking traditional Chinese artistic symbolism. The denomination '100000元' is inscribed to the right of the cockerel in the lower field. A small Chinese inscription '丁酉' (cyclical year designation for the Year of the Rooster) appears to the lower left. The composition references the Chinese lunar calendar tradition and is executed in the classic Chinese commemorative coin style. |
