| Obverse description | Within the copper-nickel centre, the large numeral '10' dominates the field against a background of intricate floral and cloud scrollwork in traditional Chinese style, flanked to the left by the Latin legend 'SHI YUAN' and to the right by the Chinese character '元'. The issuer's name '中国人民银行' (People's Bank of China) is inscribed in Chinese characters along the upper arc of the brass outer ring. The date '2023' appears in Arabic numerals along the lower arc of the brass ring, with a beaded inner border separating the ring from the centre. |

| Additional information |
China's annual lunar series has been running continuously since 1981, making 2023's Rabbit issue part of the third full cycle through the zodiac. The People's Bank of China tightly controls mintage allocations for these bimetallic circulation pieces, though actual distribution is heavily skewed toward gift packaging rather than everyday exchange — most examples are handled once and stored, which keeps circulated specimens genuinely scarce relative to total mintage.
