Flanking the emblem at left and right are symmetrical ornamental scroll devices in the field. The legend 中华人民共和国 (People's Republic of China) is inscribed in bold Chinese characters across the lower portion of the field, with the date 1991 below. |

China's lunar gold series was well-established by 1991, but the Goat issue falls in an interesting production window — the People's Bank of China was still refining its approach to the international bullion collector market, and mintages for this year were kept deliberately conservative to sustain demand from Japanese and Southeast Asian buyers who drove most secondary market activity at the time.
