| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dynamic scene divided into two contrasting halves: the left half features a group of figures in traditional and contemporary attire, evoking cultural heritage and human progress, rendered in fine relief against a textured background suggestive of classical art. The right half is filled with a circuit board pattern and binary digit sequences (0s and 1s), symbolizing modern technology and the digital age. The two halves together represent the Expo's theme of 'Better City, Better Life.' The circular legend 中国2010年上海世界博览会 (China 2010 Shanghai World Expo) runs along the upper and right periphery in Chinese characters, and the denomination 10 元 appears in the lower field. |
