| Reverse description | Central field depicts two giant pandas — an adult seated among bamboo shoots and foliage in the upper portion, and a cub reclining in the foreground — both rendered in finely frosted relief against a burnished field. Bamboo leaves and stalks frame the composition in the upper register, lending a naturalistic quality to the design. The denomination 15元 is inscribed to the upper left of the field. The fineness and weight designation 1/25oz Au .999 appears in the lower exergue in Latin characters, confirming the coin's precious metal content. |
