The coin is round in shape with a raised rim on the obverse and the reverse. The coin’s edge is milled.
The Obverse: the horse is illustrated in an awe-inspiring pose, seemingly at the brink of take-off. This burst of vigor and forward-looking spirit hints at the beginning of many good things to come, whether in one's career or life. The horse is accompanied by a cascade of alluring camellia flowers in full bloom. They come in different vibrant colours abd just like the horse's unyielding resilience, these eye-catching flowers flourish even in cold weathers, upholding brilliance no matter the circumstance.
The Reverse: the reverse side of the coin embodies the carvings of the Guia Fortress - in commemoration of Macao's maritime, military and missionary past. The Fortress is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Historic Centre of Macao, and is also a popular tourist attraction of Macao.
