| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely rendered relief depiction of a traditional Chinese boy holding a large carp, set against an elaborate background of blooming lotus flowers and leaves — emblematic of auspiciousness and prosperity in Chinese cultural iconography. The composition is rendered in a classical decorative style with rich layered relief work. A vertical inscription in Chinese characters reading '10元' (10 Yuan) appears to the left of the central motif. |

| Additional information |
Issued as part of China's long-running auspicious culture commemorative program, this 2016 piece falls within a series that the People's Bank of China has used since the early 2000s to target both domestic collectors and the overseas Chinese gift market — particularly around the Lunar New Year. Mintages for individual issues in this program have varied considerably, and secondary market premiums tend to track cultural resonance more than metal value.
