| Obverse description | The national emblem of the People's Republic of China occupies the central field, depicting Tiananmen Gate surmounted by five stars — one large and four smaller — arranged in a semicircle, all enclosed within a wreath of grain ears bound at the base by a cogwheel. The circular legend 中华人民共和国 (People's Republic of China) is inscribed in Chinese characters around the upper periphery. The date 1989 appears in Arabic numerals at the base of the design, below the emblem, in a mirror-like proof field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a finely detailed proof-struck composition commemorating Huang Dao Po, the celebrated 13th-century textile innovator of the Song dynasty. Her full-length figure dominates the central field, rendered in traditional Han robes with elaborate decorative detailing; she holds cotton in her raised right hand and a length of woven cloth in her left. To her lower left, a female attendant operates a traditional cotton-ginning wheel, while a spinning loom and textile tools are depicted in the foreground. The inscription 黄道婆 (Huang Dao Po) appears at the upper left alongside the date reference 公元13世纪 (13th century AD), and the denomination 5元 is inscribed at the right. |
