| Obverse description | Central device depicts a highly detailed huabiao — a traditional ornamental marble column — rising from a bed of blooming peony flowers rendered in high relief against a mirror-like proof field with finely engraved radiating lines. The column is decorated with intricately carved dragon motifs and cloud scrollwork, crowned by a small finial figure at its apex. The Chinese national inscription 中华人民共和国 (People's Republic of China) encircles the upper field in Chinese characters. The date 1997 appears in the lower exergue. |
