| Obverse description | A finely detailed view of the Temple of Heaven (Tian Tan) in Beijing occupies the central field, rendered in high relief with its characteristic triple-eaved circular hall set upon a tiered marble terrace with staircases. The Chinese legend 中华人民共和国 (People's Republic of China) arcs around the upper portion of the field in bold characters, while the date 1987 appears in Arabic numerals at the lower exergue. The design is executed against a mirror-polished proof field, accentuating the architectural intricacy of the building. |
