Reverse: The reverse of the medal features an adolescent giant panda amid a leafy backdrop. The moon is shown in the background. Multiple layers of relief enhance this design thanks to the combination of both super incuse and high relief surfaces.
Super Incuse Gem Proof in High Relief
The Gem Proof designation simply means that the specimen was struck to a high quality level using polished dies and planchets. Super incuse means that design devices on both sides of the medal are struck BELOW the fields of the coin. In addition, some design devices are struck in dramatic high relief.
