| Obverse description | The obverse presents a central view of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests (祈年殿), the iconic circular triple-eaved structure of the Temple of Heaven complex in Beijing, rendered in fine relief against a polished field. The building is shown in frontal elevation, flanked by auxiliary structures and set upon its characteristic three-tiered marble terrace. Surrounding the central motif, the legend reads '中华人民共和国' (People's Republic of China) above, with the year of issue '2024' positioned below the architectural design. The inscription is rendered in stylized Chinese characters in keeping with the standard obverse layout of the Chinese Panda gold coin series. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a mother giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) seated in a naturalistic setting, tenderly engaging with her young cub beside her, both rendered in highly detailed relief with fine surface texturing to evoke the animals' distinctive fur. The composition carries symbolic continuity with the 2019 Chinese Panda gold coin series, as the cub featured in that issue is represented here as the adult mother, expressing a theme of generational continuity and parental love. The scene is set against a lightly textured bamboo-grove background evoking the panda's natural habitat. Inscriptions in the field denote the coin's metallic composition, weight, and face value. |
