| Obverse description | The national emblem of the People's Republic of China occupies the central field, depicting Tiananmen Gate surmounted by a large five-pointed star flanked by four smaller stars, all enclosed within a wreath of grain ears tied at the base with a ribbon. The inscription 中华人民共和国 (People's Republic of China) arcs along the upper periphery in Chinese characters. The date 2016 appears in the lower exergue. The entire design is rendered in polished and frosted relief against a highly reflective field, with decorative floral scroll motifs framing the periphery. |

| 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. |
