| Reverse description | A highly detailed, dynamic depiction of a downhill skier in full racing tuck occupies the centre of the field, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished background. The athlete, wearing a helmet and goggles, leans forward with poles extended, with ski tracks incised below suggesting speed and motion. Numerous decorative snowflakes are scattered throughout the field, enhancing the winter sports theme. The denomination '5元' appears in bold relief at the lower left. A two-line Chinese legend at the base of the field reads '第16届冬季奥林匹克运动会纪念', identifying the coin as a commemorative issue for the 16th Winter Olympic Games. |
