| Obverse description | The national emblem of the People's Republic of China occupies the upper central field, depicting Tiananmen Gate surmounted by five stars — a large star flanked by four smaller ones — all encircled by a wreath of grain ears tied at the base with a cogwheel. Flanking the emblem in the lower field are two ornate sprigs of peony blossoms with leafy branches rendered in fine relief against a mirror-polished proof field. The Chinese legend 中华人民共和国 (People's Republic of China) is inscribed horizontally in the lower field, with the mint year 1989 below it. |

| Reverse description | Two association football players are depicted in dynamic relief at the centre of the field: a standing player in the foreground dribbles a football with his right foot while a second player lunges in a sliding tackle from the right, both figures rendered against stylised diagonal speed lines suggesting rapid movement. A curved legend in Chinese characters arcs along the upper rim reading 1990年世界杯足球赛 (1990 FIFA World Cup Football). The denomination 5元 is prominently inscribed at the bottom centre of the field. |
