| Obverse description | The national emblem of the People's Republic of China occupies the central field, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished background. The emblem comprises Tiananmen Gate flanked by a decorative wreath of grain ears tied with a ribbon at the base, surmounted by five stars — one large central star surrounded by four smaller stars. The circular legend 中华人民共和国 (People's Republic of China) in simplified Chinese characters arcs around the upper periphery. The date 2023 is inscribed in Arabic numerals at the base of the field. |

| Reverse description | A stylized tortoise rendered in a contemporary faceted geometric design occupies the central field, its carapace and body composed of triangular and polygonal planar surfaces that produce a prismatic, iridescent holographic effect when light strikes them at varying angles. The tortoise faces left with its head raised and tail extended, detailed claws visible on all four limbs. The frosted matte field contrasts with the polished faceted surfaces of the animal. The denomination 20元 is inscribed in Arabic numerals and Chinese characters at the lower portion of the field. |
