| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed effigy of a giant panda seated on a rocky outcrop amid bamboo shoots and foliage, rendered in high relief with careful attention to the animal's characteristic markings. To the upper left, the WWF (World Wildlife Fund) logo and the inscription 大熊猫 (giant panda) appear, with CHINA PANDA arcing along the upper field in Latin letters. The denomination 3元 is boldly inscribed to the right of the panda in the lower field. The overall composition is set against a deeply mirrored proof background, characteristic of the Shanghai Mint's commemorative output. |
