Reverse description A dynamic full-figure depiction of a fencer in full lunge position dominates the right portion of the field, rendered in high relief with fine detail on the protective mask, jacket, and glove; the foil extends forward in an attacking thrust. A second, smaller fencer is shown in the background to the lower left, conveying depth and motion. The denomination 10元 appears in the lower field. The legend 国际奥林匹克运动会一百周年 (Centenary of the International Olympic Games) arcs around the upper and right periphery in Chinese characters.
