| Obverse description | At center, the two Chinese characters 吉祥 (Auspiciousness) are rendered in a bold, stylized form against an intricately engraved ground of traditional Chinese auspicious motifs, including cloud scrolls and floral lattice patterns. The square central perforation, measuring 6×6 mm, is framed by continuous decorative borders characteristic of classical Chinese cash-coin iconography. The circular legend 中华人民共和国 (People's Republic of China) arcs along the upper periphery, with the year date 2025 positioned in the lower field. The overall design combines ancient coin aesthetics with modern fine-gold craftsmanship, presented in proof quality with selective color application. |

Part of the ongoing Chinese Auspicious Culture series, which the People's Bank of China has used since the early 2000s to systematically monetize traditional folk symbolism for the collector market. These issues are legal tender in name but produced exclusively for domestic and international numismatic sale — no piece has ever been intended for circulation.
