Obverse description	Within the rhombus-shaped flan, the upper portion of the field features an elaborate interlocking geometric knot pattern — a traditional Chinese auspicious motif symbolizing eternity — rendered in high relief against a polished black background. Below it, a large, finely detailed peony blossom in full bloom is framed by symmetrical ruyi-cloud scrollwork extending to the left and right, with a smaller scroll ornament occupying the lower apex. The legend 中华人民共和国 (People's Republic of China) is inscribed in simplified Chinese characters across the lower field, with the date 2026 below in Arabic numerals.

Reverse description	The central field bears the large auspicious character 福 (fú, meaning fortune/blessing) rendered in coloured enamel, incorporating within its composition a traditional fish lantern performance scene — a reference to the Lantern Festival celebrations associated with the lunar new year. The cyclical stem-branch year designation 丙午 appears to the right, identifying the year within the traditional Chinese sexagenary calendar cycle. The denomination 3元 (3 yuan) is inscribed at the base of the design. The overall composition is framed by additional decorative auspicious patterning consistent with the obverse aesthetic.
