金币正面通常呈现第一届东亚运动会的会徽等核心元素。会徽的设计独具匠心，融合了东亚地区的文化符号与体育精神。从造型上看，会徽线条流畅、富有动感，仿佛运动员在赛场上冲刺的姿态，象征着体育的活力与进取精神。同时，会徽中也蕴含着东亚地区相互连接、和谐共生的寓意，体现了东亚各国和地区通过体育盛会紧密相连的关系。

在文字表述上，“第一届东亚运动会”“THE 1ST EAST ASIAN GAMES”“1993・中国上海” 等字样清晰呈现，明确了纪念金币的主题与时间、地点，具有强烈的标识性，让人们一眼就能联想到 1993 年上海那场盛大的体育聚会。

这组纪念金币采用 24K 包金材质，24K 金代表着极高的纯度，色泽金黄、璀璨夺目，既保证了金币的贵重感，也使其具有良好的收藏与保值属性。在工艺上，运用了精湛的造币技术，如浮雕、喷砂等，使图案的立体感极强，细节之处刻画入微。运动员的肌肉线条、吉祥物的神态、会徽的纹理等都清晰可辨，增强了金币的艺术表现力与视觉冲击力。

The design of this set of commemorative gold coins closely centers on the theme of "the 1st East Asian Games", organically integrating the sportsmanship of East Asia, cultural characteristics, and the artistic beauty of precious metals. With a concise yet expressive artistic language, the designers have captured the vitality of the Games and the atmosphere of unity in East Asia, turning each gold coin into a work that embodies both commemorative significance and artistic value.

The obverse of the gold coins typically features core elements such as the emblem of the 1st East Asian Games. The emblem is ingeniously designed, blending cultural symbols of East Asia with sportsmanship. In terms of shape, it has smooth and dynamic lines, resembling an athlete sprinting on the field, symbolizing the vitality and enterprising spirit of sports. At the same time, the emblem also implies the interconnection and harmonious coexistence of East Asia, reflecting the close ties between East Asian countries and regions through this sports event.

In terms of inscriptions, words and phrases such as "第一届东亚运动会" (the 1st East Asian Games), "THE 1ST EAST ASIAN GAMES", and "1993・Shanghai, China" are clearly presented. These inscriptions clearly define the theme, time, and location of the commemorative gold coins, and have strong identifiability, allowing people to immediately associate them with the grand sports gathering held in Shanghai in 1993.

The reverse patterns focus on the sports events and cultural elements of the Games. For example, the reverse of some gold coins depicts the image of a weightlifter—with taut muscles, the athlete exerts all his strength to lift the barbell, demonstrating the beauty of strength and the charm of competitive sports. As a sport that tests an athlete's strength and skills, weightlifting embodies the characteristics of the competitive events at the Games.

Other gold coins feature the image of the Games' mascot holding flowers on their reverse. As an important symbol of the Games, mascots usually carry connotations of joy and friendship. The mascot on this gold coin has a cute and energetic appearance; holding flowers, it conveys friendship and blessings. This symbolizes the friendly competition among athletes from East Asian countries and regions during the Games and the sincere friendship after the competitions, and also reflects the sportsmanship of the Games that "friendship comes first, competition second".

This set of commemorative gold coins is made of 24K gold-plated material. 24K gold represents an extremely high level of purity; with its bright golden color and dazzling luster, it not only ensures the preciousness of the gold coins but also endows them with excellent collection and value-preserving properties.

In terms of craftsmanship, exquisite coin-making techniques such as embossing and sandblasting are adopted, which give the patterns a strong three-dimensional effect and meticulous details. The muscle lines of the athletes, the expressions of the mascot, the textures of the emblem—all are clearly distinguishable, enhancing the artistic expressiveness and visual impact of the gold coins.

In 1993, the 1st East Asian Games was grandly held in Shanghai, marking a significant milestone in the development of sports in East Asia. To commemorate this pioneering sports event, relevant institutions issued the commemorative gold coins for the 1st East Asian Games. This set of gold coins is not only a work of precious metal art, but also a valuable testament to sports exchange and cooperation in East Asia, carrying rich historical, cultural and sports value.

In the 1990s, East Asia experienced rapid economic development, while its political landscape was constantly evolving. In the field of sports, there was an urgent need for broader and deeper exchanges among countries and regions in East Asia. At that time, there were already large-scale comprehensive sports events in Asia such as the Asian Games, but there was still a gap for an exclusive sports gala dedicated to East Asia. Countries and regions in East Asia, including China, Japan, South Korea, North Korea, as well as Hong Kong China, Macao China and Chinese Taipei, each had their own strengths in sports events. They not only needed to compete and learn from each other at the competitive level, but also had the desire to promote regional unity and cultural integration through sports.

From May 9 to 18, 1993, the 1st East Asian Games was held in Shanghai. More than 2,300 athletes from 9 countries and regions – China, Japan, South Korea, North Korea, Mongolia, Hong Kong China, Macao China and Chinese Taipei – participated in competitions across 12 sports and 158 events. The successful hosting of this Games filled the gap in comprehensive sports events in East Asia and provided a high-quality platform for athletes from East Asian countries and regions to showcase their competitive skills and exchange sports experience.

For scholars studying the history of East Asian sports and cultural exchanges, this set of commemorative gold coins is a precious material object with high academic research value.

In the collection market, sports-themed commemorative coins have always been a popular category. Especially commemorative coins for events of great historical significance like the 1st East Asian Games, they are widely favored. The collection group covers sports enthusiasts, coin collectors, cultural researchers and other fields. With the increasing attention paid to sports and cultural exchanges in East Asia, the market demand for this set of commemorative gold coins has been continuously rising, and its market price has shown a steady upward trend, making it a "potential stock" in the collection market.
