| Obverse description | Central view of a section of the Great Wall of China rendered in fine relief, depicted with a watchtower rising prominently above the battlements and receding walls extending into the middle field. The national inscription 中华人民共和国 (People's Republic of China) arcs across the upper field in Chinese characters. The date 1995 appears in Western numerals along the lower exergue. The design is executed in mirror-field proof finish with frosted relief elements. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed figural composition depicting three robed immortal sages of the Taoist tradition standing in the central field, one of whom holds a yin-yang (太極) scroll or tablet before him, flanked by attendant figures including a young child and a deer at lower left — traditional symbols of longevity and good fortune. A flowering prunus tree occupies the left field. The inscription 太極圖 (Taiji Tu / Diagram of the Supreme Ultimate) appears in the upper left field, and the denomination 3 元 is inscribed in the lower right field. The entire composition reflects classical Chinese brush-painting style rendered in frosted proof relief against a mirror field. |
