| Reverse description | The reverse displays a colorized scene from the Beijing Opera performance 三岔口 (Crossroads), depicting two elaborately costumed performers in a dynamic confrontation pose, one figure grasping the other in a stylized combat sequence rendered in vivid polychrome enamel coloring. The performers wear traditional Beijing Opera costumes and face paint characteristic of their respective role types. The denomination 10元 appears in the upper left field, while the inscriptions 中国京剧 (Chinese Peking Opera) and 三岔口 (Crossroads) are positioned along the upper right periphery in Chinese characters. The colorized theatrical scene contrasts dramatically against the mirror-polished proof silver field. |
