| Obverse description | The obverse features two architectural landmarks within a divided circular vignette: at left, a traditional Chinese pavilion with characteristic upswept tiled roof, and at right, a grand Thai-style building with ornate European-influenced facade, symbolising Sino-Thai cultural ties. Decorative foliate scroll ornaments appear above the central dividing element between the two structures. The Chinese national inscription 中华人民共和国 (People's Republic of China) is arranged in a curved legend along the upper portion of the field. The date 1997 appears in the lower exergue below the architectural vignette. |
