| Beschrijving keerzijde | A colorized design depicts a plump, auspicious child — a traditional Chinese New Year mascot figure — seated astride a large red carp and a tortoise, both symbols of good fortune, longevity, and prosperity. The child holds the carp with both hands and is adorned in festive traditional clothing with a red dot on the forehead. Lotus flowers and leaves frame the composition, enhancing the celebratory and auspicious character of the scene. The legend 吉庆有余 (Auspicious Celebrations with Abundance) appears in the upper portion of the field, while the denomination 10元 is inscribed at the bottom. |

This piece belongs to a series the People's Bank of China launched in the 1990s drawing on folk imagery tied to traditional festivals, weddings, and New Year customs — a deliberate commercial pivot toward the overseas Chinese collector market that was, by 1997, generating significant hard currency revenue. The Hong Kong handover that same year made auspicious-themed gold issues from Beijing particularly marketable.
At 3.11 g, this is a one-tenth troy ounce coin, a fractional denomination the mint used to keep entry prices accessible for gift-giving purchases.
