| Reverse description | A dynamic high-relief depiction of a male hurdler in mid-stride dominates the field, his body leaning forward in full athletic extension as he clears a hurdle rendered in three-quarter perspective across the lower portion of the coin. The athlete's musculature and flowing hair are rendered with fine detail against a deeply mirrored background. The curved legend 第24届夏季奥林匹克运动会纪念 (Commemorating the 24th Summer Olympic Games) arcs along the upper periphery in Chinese characters. The denomination 5元 is inscribed in the lower central field, positioned between the hurdle uprights, integrating the face value into the sporting composition. |
