| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely engraved reproduction of a classical Chinese painting depicting three children gathered around a shallow basin or tray, engaged in play with fish — a traditional motif symbolizing prosperity and good fortune. The scene is rendered in delicate low relief against a mirror-polished field, capturing the fluid, painterly style of Song or Ming dynasty genre art. The inscription 童子戏鱼图 (Children Playing with Fish Painting) appears in Chinese characters along the upper portion of the field. The denomination 10元 is inscribed in the lower field in large, bold characters. |
