| Obverse description | The obverse features the national emblem of the People's Republic of China centrally positioned within the square field: Tiananmen Gate rendered in high relief, surmounted by a large five-pointed star flanked by four smaller stars arranged in an arc, the whole encircled by a wreath of grain ears interlaced at the base with a cogwheel. Below the emblem, a panoramic low-relief landscape vignette extends across the lower field, depicting rocky mountain terrain with traditional pavilions and natural scenery evocative of Wuyi Mountain. The legend 中华人民共和国 (People's Republic of China) arcs along the upper periphery of the coin in Chinese characters, with the date 2020 inscribed in the lower exergue. |
