Flanking the central device are decorative snowflake motifs in low relief. The Great Wall of China is depicted in the lower portion of the field, symbolizing the host nation. The inscription 'BEIJING 2022' appears within the central emblem, and the date '2022' is engraved along the lower rim. The outer legend '中华人民共和国' (People's Republic of China) encircles the design in Chinese characters. |

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.
