| Reverse description | The central field depicts a male rifle shooter in prone position, aiming a scoped rifle to the right, rendered in detailed relief against a mirror-polished background with stylized speed lines accentuating the athletic motion. Above the figure, the Chinese characters 射击 (meaning 'Shooting') appear prominently in the upper field. In the lower portion of the field, a panoramic view of a Chinese architectural landmark — referencing the 2008 Beijing Summer Games venue setting — is depicted alongside the Hangul inscription 대성산성 and the year '2008'. The curved Latin legend 'SUMMER GAMES 2008' arcs boldly along the upper border. |
