Reverse description The reverse presents a vividly colored folk-art depiction of a dog rendered in the traditional Chinese paper-cut and clay-sculpture style, shown in profile facing left with elaborate floral and foliate decorations adorning its body in red, green, blue, and yellow enamel. The figure is set against a lightly engraved background of chrysanthemum blooms in the field. The denomination 10元 appears in the upper left of the field, with the character 元 following the numeral. A small artist's mark or inscription appears in the lower left of the field. The composition evokes the festive aesthetic of Chinese New Year celebratory crafts, commemorating the Year of the Dog in the lunar zodiac cycle.
