| Reverse description | A male gymnast is depicted in dynamic action performing a routine on the parallel bars, his body arched with one leg raised high in a dramatic split position, rendered in finely struck relief against a mirror-polished field with radiating line accents in the background. The curved legend THE 12TH ASIAN GAMES arcs along the upper periphery in Latin capitals. The denomination 100元 appears to the right of the central figure in the field. |

This coin belongs to China's 1994 Olympic commemorative program tied to its bid ambitions and general promotion of athletic prestige ahead of the International Olympic Committee's vote on the 2000 Summer Games — a vote Beijing lost to Sydney by a margin of two votes in September 1993, months before this coin was struck.
