| Reverse description | The reverse presents a colorized reproduction of the classical Tang Dynasty court painting 'Dao Lian Tu' (捣练图), attributed to Zhang Xuan, depicting two elegant court ladies engaged in the silkening of fabric — one carefully ironing a length of silk while another figure is shown at play in the scene. The figures are rendered in refined polychrome coloring faithful to the original composition, set against a plain field. The denomination 20 appears in the design. |

The "Famous Paintings" series draws from the Palace Museum's holdings, with individual releases tied to specific works from the classical Chinese canon. The 2022 issue continued a format the People's Bank has used sporadically since the 1990s to position Chinese cultural assets within the international bullion collectibles market — a deliberate soft-power exercise run through the China Gold Coin Corporation.
