| Beschrijving voorzijde | A finely detailed architectural view of the main ceremonial gate of Putuoshan (普陀山), the sacred Buddhist island-mountain, rendered in high relief against a mirror-like proof field. The multi-tiered traditional Chinese paifang gateway is depicted with characteristic upturned eaves and three archways, conveying the grandeur of this renowned pilgrimage site. The circular legend 中华人民共和国 (People's Republic of China) arcs around the upper portion of the field in Chinese characters. Below the architectural motif, the inscription 普陀山 identifies the site, with the date 1995 struck beneath it. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A graceful bust of Guanyin (觀世音菩薩), the Buddhist Bodhisattva of Compassion, occupies the central field, depicted in a serene frontal pose with a nimbus encircling her crowned and elaborately coiffed head. She holds a Dharma wheel (dharmachakra) before her draped chest, with prayer beads visible at her wrists, rendered in finely frosted relief. The figure's robes fall in soft, flowing lines, conveying classical Chinese Buddhist sculptural aesthetics. To the left of the figure, the denomination 5元 is inscribed in Chinese characters. The vertical legend 觀世音菩薩 appears along the right field, identifying the deity. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Kuan Yin silver series ran from 1992 through 1998, issued under the People's Bank of China as part of a broader push into the international bullion and collector market during the early reform era. The 5 Yuan denomination placed these coins in an awkward commercial position — face value too low to reflect silver content, yet priced well above spot for export sales, primarily targeting the North American and European collector market rather than domestic circulation.
The .900 fineness is notably lower than the .999 silver common to Chinese Panda issues of the same period, a deliberate specification choice that has never been fully explained in official mint documentation.
