| Obverse description | Central device depicts the ornate multi-tiered ceremonial gate of Putuoshan (普陀山), the sacred Buddhist island mountain, rendered in fine relief against a mirror-proof field. The architectural structure is portrayed with precise detail, showing traditional Chinese bracketing, curved roof eaves, and three arched passageways at ground level. The curved legend 中华人民共和国 (People's Republic of China) arcs around the upper periphery in Chinese characters. Below the gate, the inscription 普陀山 identifies the sacred site, with the date 1995 in the lower exergue. |
