Reverse description Central field displays a dynamic high-relief effigy of a galloping horse rearing on its hind legs, with mane and tail rendered in flowing, wind-swept detail conveying movement and vitality, executed in the traditional Chinese artistic style. To the left of the horse, the cyclical year designation 壬午 is inscribed in Chinese characters, identifying the Year of the Horse in the Chinese sexagenary calendar. To the lower right, a small seal-script artist's signature (徐) attributes the design. The denomination 10元 is engraved along the lower portion of the field. The entire composition is set within the eight-lobed scalloped flan against a deeply mirrored proof background.
