| Obverse description | At centre, a finely detailed relief depiction of a traditional Chinese multi-tiered pagoda, rendered in the classical architectural style associated with the Xi'an region. The structure features characteristic upturned eaves across multiple levels and an arched gateway at its base. The legend 中华人民共和国 (People's Republic of China) arcs across the upper field in Chinese characters. The inscription 中国西安风景 (Scenery of Xi'an, China) appears in the lower right field, with the date 1993 below in the exergue area, all set against a deeply mirrored proof field. |

| Reverse description | Two roosters are depicted in high relief against a mirror-polished field, rendered in the traditional Chinese brush-painting style after the work of artist Qi Baishi. A proud cockerel stands atop a rocky outcrop at centre, its elaborate tail feathers fanned dramatically upward, while a second rooster forages at lower left beside sparse vegetation. The denomination 100元 appears prominently in the left field, with the cyclical year designation 癸酉 above it. A vertical inscription in cursive Chinese script at the right reads 非洲漫草 白石傅石, attributing the artistic composition. |
