Obverse description Central field features a finely detailed proof-finish depiction of the Temple of Heaven (Tiantan) in Beijing, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished background. The iconic circular ceremonial hall with its triple-tiered blue-tiled roof and surrounding marble terrace and balustrades is shown in full frontal elevation. The Chinese legend '中华人民共和国' (People's Republic of China) arcs around the upper periphery of the coin in bold Chinese characters. The date '2006' appears in Arabic numerals at the bottom of the field, below the temple.

Reverse description Two giant pandas are depicted in a naturalistic bamboo forest setting, rendered in exquisite frosted relief against a mirror-polished field. The larger panda is seated in the foreground facing slightly right, holding and nibbling a bamboo shoot, while a smaller panda to its right perches on a branch and chews bamboo leaves. Lush bamboo foliage and rocky outcroppings frame the composition. The denomination '100元' appears in the upper right field, and the purity and weight inscription '1/4 oz Au .999' is incused along the lower left rim.
