| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dynamic depiction of a Chinese dragon rendered in bold high relief, coiling sinuously across the scalloped field and clutching a flaming pearl, with stylized clouds and celestial motifs filling the background in fine detail. The composition reflects the traditional artistic style of imperial Chinese iconography associated with the Lunar New Year series. The denomination 10元 appears in the lower left field, and the character 龙 (dragon) is inscribed vertically along the right edge. The lobed scalloped border frames the design with repeated decorative elements consistent with the lotus-flower shaped planchet. |
