| Reverse description | Central depiction of the Huanghuagang Mausoleum (Yellow Flower Mound), the memorial to the 72 martyrs of the 1911 Canton Uprising, with an allegorical human figure surmounting the monument's pinnacle. Chinese ideograms are arranged above the mausoleum and inscribed upon the shrine structure itself. The overall composition is framed by the commemorative legend identifying this as a memorial issue.
