Reverse description The celebrated Changxin Palace Lantern, a gilded bronze artifact of the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC–AD 24) and designated national treasure of China, is depicted in colour at the centre of the coin. The lantern, shaped as a kneeling female figure holding an adjustable lamp, is faithfully rendered with fine detail highlighting its elegant form and historic craftsmanship. The central motif is set against a decorative linear background pattern evoking traditional Chinese artistic design. The legend 国家宝藏·长信宫灯 (National Treasure · Changxin Palace Lamp) arcs around the design, with the denomination 5元 (5 Yuan) inscribed in the lower field.
