| Reverse description | A colorfully enameled bird perches on a flowering branch rendered in red and gold, evoking the traditional Chinese paper-cutting artistic style. The bird is depicted in vivid red enamel with fine feather detailing, set against the polished gold proof field. Plum blossoms adorn the branch, a motif symbolizing perseverance and the winter season in Chinese cultural tradition. The denomination '80元' (80 Yuan) is inscribed in the lower field in bold Chinese numerals and character. A vertical inscription in Chinese characters along the left side reads '第24届冬季奥林匹克运动会' (24th Winter Olympic Games). |

China's 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics made history as the first city to host both Summer and Winter Games, having previously held the 2008 Summer Olympics. The issue was part of a broader commemorative program released across multiple tranches between 2021 and 2022, with the People's Bank authorizing both gold and silver denominations at different weights for the same event — a layered release strategy that has become characteristic of Chinese commemorative programs since the 1990s.
The 5g .999 fine gold format places this among the smaller fractional issues in the series, struck at the Shenzhen Guobao Mint.
