| Obverse description | Central field features a highly detailed proof-quality relief depiction of the Dazheng Hall (大政殿) of the Shenyang Imperial Palace (沈阳故宫), rendered in finely engraved architectural detail showing the octagonal pavilion structure with its sweeping double-eaved roof, columned facade, and raised stone terrace with balustrades. The country name 中华人民共和国 (People's Republic of China) arcs along the upper periphery in Chinese characters. Below the building, the inscription 沈阳故宫·大政殿 identifies the depicted monument, and the year of issue 2002 appears along the lower rim. The design is presented within the distinctive eight-lobed scalloped flan against a mirror-polished field. |

| 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. |
