| Obverse description | Central depiction of a traditional Chinese pavilion with upswept tiled roofs set against an open field, rendered in fine relief. The structure is presented in a three-quarter perspective, conveying classical imperial architectural style. The date '2002' appears in the lower exergue. The legend '中华人民共和国' (People's Republic of China) is inscribed along the upper periphery in Chinese characters. The design is framed by the coin's eight-lobed scalloped border. |

| Additional information |
The Year of the Horse gold issues of 2002 were produced by the People's Bank of China as part of the long-running Lunar Series, which began in 1981 with the Year of the Rooster. The 15.5g weight corresponds to half a troy ounce — a denomination tier introduced to broaden collector accessibility without committing to a full-ounce premium. Chinese Lunar gold coins of this period were struck at the Shenzhen and Shanghai mints, with subtle mint marks distinguishing the two; KM#1426 does not specify which facility, and examples from both facilities exist in the market.
