| Reverse description | The reverse presents a large, elaborately decorated Bronze Age ritual bronze urn (zun) dominating the right portion of the field, its body adorned with intricate taotie mask and dragon motifs characteristic of Shang dynasty craftsmanship. To the left, a detailed scene depicts ancient artisans engaged in the bronze-casting process: figures tend smelting furnaces, work bellows, and prepare clay moulds, evoking the sophisticated metallurgical techniques of approximately the 16th century BC. An inscription in the upper left identifies the subject in Chinese characters, and the denomination 100元 appears in the lower central field. |
