| Reverse description | Fan-shaped reverse depicting a pastoral scene in high relief characteristic of Chinese lunar coinage. Three oxen — one adult in the foreground, one adult at right, and a calf between them — are shown grazing in a tranquil landscape with a bare tree and gentle hills in the background, evoking traditional Chinese landscape painting. The decorative border panels with cloud scroll motifs continue from the obverse design, framing the scenic composition. The denomination 10元 appears in the lower right portion of the field in Chinese numerals. |

| Additional information |
China's Lunar Series coins are struck by a consortium of mints operating under People's Bank authorization, but allocation across those facilities shifts annually — and with it, subtle differences in die finishing and field quality that specialists track closely. The 2021 Ox issue arrived during a year when global silver demand spiked sharply, driving secondary market premiums well above face value almost immediately upon release.
The KM#1349 reference places this squarely in the modern Chinese commemorative program that began restructuring its distribution model around 2015, tightening authorized dealer networks considerably.
