| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a stylized representation of a traditional Tibetan warrior or deity figure rendered in an engraved, relief-sculptural style reminiscent of classical Tibetan thangka artistic tradition. The central figure is shown in frontal view wearing an elaborate ceremonial helmet and ornate armor, holding a bow. The inscription 西藏自治区成立50周年 (50th Anniversary of the Founding of the Tibet Autonomous Region) appears along the left periphery in Chinese characters, while Tibetan script lettering runs along the right border. The denomination 100 appears in the lower field, and the entire composition is framed by a fine beaded inner border. |

| Additional information |
The Tibet Autonomous Region was formally established on September 9, 1965, following the abolition of the traditional Tibetan government structure that Beijing had tolerated — uneasily — for over a decade after the 1950 incorporation. The 50th anniversary issue in 2015 arrived at a politically charged moment: international scrutiny of Chinese policy in Tibet had intensified throughout the 2000s and early 2010s, making commemorative issues like this one as much a statement of administrative permanence as anything else.
Mintages for these PBC gold commemoratives are typically released in small authorized quantities, often under 10,000 pieces, with distribution handled through the China Gold Coin Corporation.
