| Reverse description | A richly colored effigy of a coiled snake occupies the central field, rendered in vibrant polychrome enamel with a predominantly blue body adorned with red and gold floral rosette patterns, evoking traditional Chinese decorative art. The snake is depicted in a dynamic, curling pose with its head raised, symbolizing the Chinese zodiac sign for the Year of the Snake. The denomination 10元 appears in the upper left field in Chinese characters, while the cyclical year inscription 辛巳年 is positioned along the right margin. The smooth silver border frames the colorized design, creating a striking contrast between the polished field and the applied color work. |
