Reverse description A rectangular field depicting a serene landscape scene inspired by the celebrated Tang dynasty painting 'Nymph of the Luo River,' after the composition attributed to Gu Kaizhi. In the foreground, the goddess Luo is shown reclining gracefully near the water's edge amid stylized waves, while a group of attendant figures stands beneath elaborately rendered foliage and trees to the right. The scene is rendered in delicate intaglio line work recalling the tradition of Chinese brush painting. The denomination 10元 appears in raised numerals and characters in the upper right corner of the field.
