| Obverse description | Central to the obverse are the two Chinese characters 吉祥 (auspiciousness), rendered in an ornate, stylised calligraphic form and set against a densely worked background of traditional Chinese auspicious decorative patterns. The composition draws on classical motifs associated with good fortune, with the characters positioned prominently in the field. The upper legend reads 中华人民共和国 (People's Republic of China) and the date 2025 appears in the lower portion of the design. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents an elaborate decorative composition featuring intertwining gourd vines bearing multiple gourds, with a naturalistic katydid perched among the foliage, all rendered in vibrant colour against the polished gold field. The gourd and vine motif is a traditional Chinese symbol of fertility, abundance, and longevity. The four-character Chinese idiom 蔓蔓日茂, meaning 'flourishing and thriving with each passing day', appears as the primary legend. The denomination 80元 (80 Yuan) is inscribed in the field. The overall design follows the classical gongbi fine-line painting tradition adapted to the coin format. |
