| Obverse description | The obverse features the fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt, depicting the monarch in right-facing profile as a mature sovereign at age 77, her hair styled and adorned without a crown or diadem. The Queen wears a necklace and earrings, consistent with Blunt's naturalistic and unadorned portrait style. The surrounding legend arcs along the upper periphery in Latin, with additional inscriptions indicating the coin's gold purity. The field is smooth and reflective, lending a clean framing to the royal portrait. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a vibrant ceremonial lion associated with the traditional Chinese lion dance, rendered in dynamic artistic detail. The lion's head is prominent and boldly stylized, with a decorative seal bearing the Chinese character for happiness (福) positioned above it. A cascade of firecrackers runs along the right side of the composition, with starburst motifs radiating throughout the field to evoke the spectacle of their detonation. The design celebrates the Chinese cultural tradition of bringing good fortune, joy, and blessings. The denomination, date, mint identifier, and country name appear in the legend, completing the festive and richly symbolic composition. |
