| Reverse description | The central device features a stylized representation of a Chinese bronze spade money (布幣, bu bi), an archaic form of currency evoking China's monetary heritage, rendered in bold relief against a flat field. The denomination legend 半圓 (Half Yuan) flanks the central motif, with 圓 to the left and 半 to the right. The inner border is composed of the same continuous Greek key meander pattern as the obverse, providing visual unity to the design. The overall composition is spare and monumental, with the archaic spade coin device serving as a deliberate allusion to classical Chinese numismatic tradition. |
