| Reverse description | Octagonal proof field featuring a full-length colorized effigy of Miaoyu, one of the principal characters of 'Dream of the Red Chamber,' depicted in elaborate Tang-style court dress with richly colored robes of green, red, and gold. She stands gracefully facing forward, holding a ceremonial tea tray, set against a lush background of oversized lotus leaves and blossoms rendered in delicate relief. The denomination 10元 appears in the lower left field, and the inscription 妙玉品茶, meaning 'Miaoyu Tasting Tea,' is inscribed along the upper right, identifying the depicted scene. The colorization technique enhances the ornate textile details of the figure's costume, contrasting elegantly with the mirror-like silver field. |
