| Reverse description | The reverse is divided into three overlapping coin-shaped segments arranged in a dynamic, fanned composition, each depicting a distinct motif associated with international numismatic themes. The upper right segment features a koala bear amid eucalyptus foliage, accompanied by the inscription AUSTRALIAN KOALA. The lower left segment displays a crowned crane in a naturalistic setting, labeled 米鹮 in Chinese characters. The denomination 10元 appears prominently in the upper left field. The bilingual legends 北京国际钱币博览会 and BEIJING INTERNATIONAL COIN EXPOSITION arc across the design, unifying the composition in proof finish with frosted devices against a mirror field. |

| Additional information |
The Beijing International Coin Expo (BICE) commemorative issues have been produced annually since the early 2000s, with the Chinese Mint releasing small-edition silver pieces tied directly to the expo's run dates each November. The 2019 edition was among the last before the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the 2020 event schedule entirely, giving this particular year's issue an inadvertent closing-chapter quality within the uninterrupted pre-pandemic run.
