| Reverse description | High-relief depiction of two tigers in a naturalistic landscape setting: a large adult tiger reclines prominently in the foreground, rendered with fine detail in its striped coat, while a playful tiger cub rests beside it. A mountainous background with stylized rocky terrain occupies the upper field, evoking the traditional Chinese painting aesthetic. A vertical cartouche bearing the denomination 100000元 appears in the right field, complemented by decorative elements along the border. The entire design is executed in frosted proof relief against a mirror-polished field. |

| Additional information |
The 100,000 yuan gold kilo-bar coin series — of which this is the ten-kilogram apex — has been issued annually by the People's Bank of China since 1981, making it one of the longest-running bullion programs of the modern era. The Chinese Gold Panda program established the template, but the lunar series commanding these extreme denominations targets a separate collector market entirely, primarily institutional buyers and sovereign wealth vehicles within mainland China and Hong Kong.
At ten kilograms, mintages are typically in the single digits.
