| Reverse description | A dynamic, high-relief depiction of a galloping horse in full stride occupies the central field, rendered with fine sculptural detail in the mane, musculature, and flowing tail. Stylized rocky cliff formations in the background evoke a traditional Chinese landscape painting aesthetic. The denomination 10000元 is inscribed in the upper right field, while the cyclical characters 甲午 (jiǎ wǔ, denoting the Horse year in the Chinese sexagenary cycle) appear in smaller script in the lower right field. The scalloped border frames the composition with an ornate repeating floral motif. |
