| Obverse description | A detailed frontal view of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests at the Temple of Heaven (天坛) occupies the central field, rendered with fine architectural precision showing its triple-eaved circular roof, surrounding marble terraces, and ornamental balustrades. The Chinese legend 中华人民共和国 (People's Republic of China) arcs along the upper periphery in Chinese characters. The date 2015 appears in Arabic numerals along the lower rim. The composition reflects the classical design standard employed on Chinese Panda bullion coinage since 1982. |

| Reverse description | A giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is depicted seated three-quarter facing, holding a bamboo sprig to its mouth in a naturalistic feeding pose. The background features a densely rendered stand of bamboo stalks and foliage extending across the full field, with fallen bamboo leaves scattered along the lower exergue. The denomination 100元 appears in the upper right field in a combination of Arabic numerals and the Chinese character for yuan. The design exemplifies the annually changing panda motif that is a hallmark of the Chinese Panda gold coin series. |
