| Reverse description | The central field depicts a detailed frontal view of the Monument to the People's Heroes (人民英雄纪念碑) as it stands in Tiananmen Square, Beijing, showing the tall obelisk-style shaft rising from a multi-tiered decorative base with a surrounding balustrade platform. Chinese characters inscribed on the shaft of the monument are rendered in fine relief. Below the monument in the lower field, the denomination is clearly inscribed as 400元 in bold Arabic numerals and Chinese character. The design is framed by the same finely milled loop-denticle border as the obverse, consistent throughout the coin's periphery. |
