| Reverse description | The reverse depicts two Beijing Opera performers in elaborate traditional costumes rendered in fine relief against a mirror-polished field: a foreground female figure in full warrior attire, adorned with an ornate headdress and flowing robes, poses dynamically with crossed spears, while a second costumed figure is visible in the background. To the right, a vivid colorized Beijing Opera face mask (lian pu) in red, black, and pink applied color commands attention, set against a background of traditional architectural latticework. The denomination '10元' appears in the lower right field. The curved legend 第29届奥林匹克运动会 (The 29th Olympic Games) is inscribed along the upper border in Chinese characters. |
