| Reverse description | A vividly colored monkey rendered in red and multicolor enamel is depicted in a playful, upright pose at center, holding a cluster of peaches — a traditional symbol of longevity and good fortune. The monkey figure is set against a stylized background of golden lotus flowers and foliage in high relief. The denomination 2000元 appears to the upper right in the field, and the inscription 百克 (100 grams) is inscribed to the lower left, indicating the coin's weight. The contrast between the polished gold field and the applied color printing gives the design a striking decorative quality consistent with the Chinese Lunar New Year commemorative series. |
