| Obverse description | The obverse features a central depiction of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests (Qinian Dian) at the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, rendered in fine detail with its distinctive triple-eaved circular roof and surrounding balustrade. The architecture is framed within the polished coin field, with the Chinese inscription 中华人民共和国 (People's Republic of China) arcing along the upper periphery in raised relief. The date 2017 appears prominently in the lower exergual area beneath the architectural motif. The overall design reflects the classic obverse composition consistently used for the Chinese Panda bullion series. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) seated in a naturalistic pose among bamboo stalks, holding and nibbling a bamboo shoot, set against a finely detailed bamboo grove background. The panda's fur is rendered with meticulous engraving, creating a vivid contrast between the frosted design elements and the brilliant polished field. The denomination 2000元 appears to the left of the central motif in raised numerals and Chinese characters, while the specifications 150g Au .999 are inscribed along the lower right periphery, confirming the coin's gold content and fineness. The composition exemplifies the annually changing panda designs characteristic of this celebrated bullion series. |
