| Obverse description | Fan-shaped flan bearing a finely detailed high-relief effigy of a snake in the left portion of the field, its sinuous body coiling gracefully across the lower register. Behind the snake, a decorative spiral motif rendered in layered concentric relief suggests a stylized chrysanthemum or shell pattern, evoking traditional Chinese artistic imagery. A small floral spray occupies the upper right corner of the field. The denomination '10元' appears in the upper left field in incuse-style numerals against the mirror-polished proof surface. |

| Reverse description | Fan-shaped flan displaying the national emblem of the People's Republic of China at centre — comprising Tiananmen Gate surmounted by five stars, encircled by a wreath of grain ears tied with a ribbon — all rendered in sharp proof relief against a polished field. To the left, a vertical panel of ornate relief decoration features fish, lotus blossoms, and scrolling foliage in a traditional Chinese decorative style; a matching panel of equal elaboration appears on the right. The legend '中华人民共和国' is inscribed vertically along the left decorative band, and the date '2013' appears in the lower right field. |
