| Obverse description | The central vignette presents a pastoral scene of a shepherd tending a flock of sheep, executed in fine intaglio engraving characteristic of De La Rue's Republican-era output. The principal inscriptions read 行銀國中 (Bank of China) and 圓拾 (Ten Yuan), disposed around the central field and flanked by intricate guilloche borders. The overall composition adheres to the classical engraved banknote style prevalent among De La Rue-produced Chinese issues of the period. |
