| Reverse description | The mirror-polished central field depicts a dynamic lion dance scene in high relief: a male performer in traditional costume kneels in an athletic pose, holding a decorative ball in one hand while a magnificent stylized lion looms dramatically above and behind him, its mane rendered in fine detail. To the right, a vertical decorative column bearing geometric fret-pattern motifs in the style of traditional Chinese latticework separates the main scene from a colorized inset depicting a vividly polychrome lion dance head — rendered in applied color with yellow, orange, red, and green hues — suspended from the column. The denomination 10元 appears in the lower right field. The legend 第29届奥林匹克运动会 (29th Olympic Games) arcs along the upper border in Chinese characters. |
