| Reverse description | The reverse displays a vivid colorized Beijing opera (Peking opera) face mask of Lu Zhishen, a celebrated hero from the classic Chinese novel Water Margin (水浒传). The mask is rendered in bold polychrome — predominantly white, red, and black — with stylized facial markings characteristic of the jing (painted face) role type. The denomination 10元 appears in the lower left field, while the characters 鲁智深 (Lu Zhishen) are inscribed vertically to the left of the mask. Geometric and maze-like decorative patterns fill the background field, complementing the theatrical subject matter. |
