| Obverse description | Central field features the national emblem of the People's Republic of China: the gate of Tiananmen surmounted by five stars — one large star flanked by four smaller stars in an arc — all encircled by a wreath of grain sheaves tied at the base with a gear wheel, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. Below the emblem, two lines of Chinese characters read 中华人民共和国 (People's Republic of China) and 成立三十周年 (30th Anniversary of the Founding), followed by the commemorative date range 1949–1979 in Arabic numerals. The coin is encircled by a finely milled border of regular denticles. |
