| Obverse description | The bimetallic obverse features the large numeral '10' prominently in the copper-nickel centre, flanked to the left by the Latin romanization 'SHI YUAN' and to the right by the Chinese character '元', all set against a decorative guilloche background with traditional floral scroll motifs. The issuer's legend '中国人民银行' (People's Bank of China) arcs along the upper periphery of the brass outer ring, rendered in raised Chinese characters. The date '2017' appears in Arabic numerals along the lower periphery of the ring. A small micro-inscription 'RMB 10 YUAN' is present at the base of the numeral in the centre field. The outer ring is bordered by a fine raised bead pattern running along the entire circumference. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a stylized rooster rendered in traditional Chinese folk art style, standing in profile and facing right within the copper-nickel centre field, its plumage elaborately detailed with curling feathers and decorative scroll motifs. To the left of the rooster, a traditional Chinese palace lantern is depicted in the brass outer ring, evoking the festive atmosphere of the Lunar New Year. Peony flowers and foliage ornament the upper portion of the outer ring, while a bamboo shoot motif appears to the right. The cyclical Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch characters '丁酉' — denoting the Year of the Rooster in the traditional sexagenary calendar — are inscribed on the left side of the outer ring in raised Chinese script. |
