| Reverse description | A female rhythmic gymnast is depicted in dynamic high-relief, captured mid-leap in a graceful split position, manipulating a flowing ribbon that sweeps broadly across the lower field. In the upper left field, the mascot of the 11th Asian Games appears alongside the inscription 'XI ASIAN GAMES' and the date '1990' in three lines. The denomination '100元' is inscribed prominently in the lower central field. The composition emphasizes elegant athletic movement within an uncluttered field. |

Issued as part of China's 11th Asian Games commemorative series ahead of the 1990 Beijing Games — the first time China hosted the event — this piece belongs to a gold program that the People's Bank of China used deliberately to attract foreign hard currency at a moment when international confidence in the country was severely strained following the events of Tiananmen Square in June 1989.
