Reverse description Two stylized snake heads face each other in a symmetrical, yin-yang-inspired composition at the center of the field, rendered in a traditional folk-art style with bold geometric facial markings and rounded forms evoking festive paper-cut artistry. Surrounding the serpents is a profusion of blossoming plum flowers, flowering branches, and fluttering butterflies, all executed in finely detailed relief that fills the scalloped flan to its edges. The cyclical Chinese characters 乙巳, denoting the Year of the Snake in the sexagenary cycle, appear to the left of the central motif. The denomination 10000元 is inscribed in the lower left field. The overall design draws heavily on traditional Chinese decorative arts and conveys auspicious symbolism associated with the lunar new year.
