| Obverse description | The national emblem of the People's Republic of China depicted in high relief at the centre of the field, featuring Tiananmen Gate surmounted by five stars, encircled by a wreath of grain ears and a cogwheel at the base. The legend 中华人民共和国 (People's Republic of China) arcs around the upper periphery in Chinese characters, with the date 2025 inscribed in the lower exergue. The deeply mirrored proof field contrasts with the frosted device, rendered in a polished gold finish. |

| Additional information |
The Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region was formally established on October 1, 1955, replacing the earlier Xinjiang Province and incorporating a governing structure designed to nominally recognize the region's dominant Turkic Muslim population while consolidating Communist Party administration. The 70th anniversary issue arrives at a politically charged moment — the region has been under intense international scrutiny since roughly 2017 over documented mass detention and surveillance programs targeting Uyghurs, making this an unusually freighted commemorative subject for a state mint to celebrate.
The 8g .999 gold format is consistent with the People's Bank of China's smaller commemorative gold denominations issued in recent years for regional and cultural anniversaries.
