All reverses are marked with the denomination “10 yuan” and the inscription “XI Asian Games 1990.”

The obverse of each coin displays the emblem of the People’s Republic of China, the national inscription in Chinese characters, a sun symbol, the Asian Games logo, and an architectural panorama with a central monument, along with the date 1989.

Struck in silver with proof quality, these coins exhibit mirrored fields and frosted reliefs, highlighting exceptional craftsmanship. Issued as part of an official commemorative program, this complete four-piece set is a standout collectible for fans of sports, Olympic-style events, and modern Chinese numismatics.
