Beschreibung Vorderseite

A view of the palace from the outer court, the nerve center of power where the great decisions of the Emperor were taken. It is reached by the southgate, the main entrance to the palace but also the only one today through which it can be accessed. The words"600 years of the Forbidden City“, written in French on the roof of the palace are also translated into Chinese as reflecting in the courtyard. A gigantic dragon, symbol of Chinese imperial power, seems to embrace the palace and therefore protect it. Year of issue 2020 is located at the bottom and to the left

Beschreibung Rückseite

The globe with parallels and meridians on the left and the inscriptions of major sites classified as UNESCO World Heritage Sites on the right. These inscriptions are as if engraved in the stone, which echoes the Rosetta Stone. The left side of the globe is surrounded by the UNESCO logo and the "World Heritage" marking. The face value 50 EURO is inscribed on the left side of the globe, matching perfectly with parallels and meridians.
