| Reverse description | Central device depicts a coiled Chinese Loong (dragon) rendered in the style of a Qing Dynasty ancient coin, its sinuous body curling dynamically within the field. To the side, an inset representation of the Queen Victoria 'Gothic' type Florin from the United Kingdom (KM# 746) is incorporated as a design element, referencing the international numismatic heritage celebrated by the exposition. The denomination '10 元' and the full legend 'BEIJING INTERNATIONAL COIN EXPOSITION' appear in the field, combining Latin and Chinese characters. The juxtaposition of Eastern and Western numismatic imagery underscores the coin's theme of global numismatic exchange. |

| Additional information |
The Beijing International Coin Exposition (BICE) commemorative series has been issued annually since 2002, with each year's piece sold exclusively at the expo itself — making distribution geographically concentrated and secondary-market premiums predictable. The 2015 edition was produced by the China Gold Coin Corporation under the People's Bank of China, consistent with the series format. Mintage figures for BICE issues are typically low by Chinese commemorative standards, often under 30,000 pieces, though the 2015 specific authorized mintage should be confirmed against official PBC documentation before cataloging.
