| Reverse description | Two figures dressed in traditional Chinese robes, depicted in the ancient cuju (蹴鞠) football style, are shown facing one another in dynamic postures over a round ball at the lower center, evoking the historical Chinese origins of football. In the upper left field, the Chinese national flag bearing five stars appears above the Olympic rings, referencing China's participation in the 1980 Olympic movement. A decorative spray of open Chinese folding fans is depicted in the upper right field, and a small seal-script cartouche appears to the left of the central figures.
