| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed depiction of a coiled snake rendered in high relief against a subtly textured background, occupying the majority of the scalloped plum blossom-shaped field. The snake's sinuous body is rendered with meticulous scale detail, conveying a sense of naturalistic elegance characteristic of Chinese lunar series coinage. The cyclical Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch designation 癸巳, identifying the Year of the Snake in the traditional Chinese sexagenary cycle, appears to the left in the field. The denomination 10元 is inscribed in the lower right portion of the field. |
