| Obverse description | Central field features the national emblem of the People's Republic of China — the Tiananmen Gate beneath a large five-pointed star flanked by four smaller stars, all above a cogwheel and wreath of grain ears. The vertical legend '中华人民共和国' (People's Republic of China) runs along the left border in traditional Chinese characters. The date '2018' appears in the lower right corner of the rectangular flan. The overall design is rendered in high-relief proof finish against a polished rectangular gold field, with decorative floral scroll borders framing the composition. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a lively, naturalistically rendered Shiba Inu-type dog standing in profile facing right, with its characteristic curled tail raised, set against a subtly incuse background suggesting a second dog in outline form behind it. The denomination '2000元' is inscribed in the upper right field in Chinese characters and Arabic numerals. The cyclical year designation '戊戌' (the Earthly Branch designation for the Dog year) appears in the lower left field. The composition is executed in a combination of proof and matte finishes to contrast the foreground figure from the background, conveying depth and artistic refinement characteristic of Chinese lunar gold issues. |
