| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a graceful flying apsara (飞天) from the Dunhuang murals, rendered in elegant low relief against a mirror-like proof field. The figure is shown in flowing robes with long, billowing scarves trailing dynamically behind, characteristic of the Northern Wei style Dunhuang frescoes. Small birds in flight are scattered across the upper field, enhancing the sense of celestial movement. The inscription 敦煌飞天（北朝）appears in the upper left, identifying the motif, while the denomination 20元 is inscribed in the lower right corner of the rectangular flan. |
