| Obverse description | Central device depicts a finely detailed view of a traditional Chinese city gate tower (likely the Zhengyangmen gate in Beijing), rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. The multi-tiered pavilion with characteristic upturned eaves rises above a massive masonry gate platform pierced by an arched passage, flanked by sections of city wall and framed by stylized trees and rockery. The curved legend 中华人民共和国 (People's Republic of China) arcs along the upper periphery in Chinese characters, and the date 1989 appears in Arabic numerals at the base of the design. |
