| Reverse description | The reverse presents an expansive, highly detailed proof relief depiction of a bustling riverside scene drawn from Zhang Zeduan's celebrated Northern Song dynasty painting 'Along the River During the Qingming Festival.' A prominent arched stone bridge spans the central composition, surrounded by crowded streets, merchant boats on the river, traditional timber-framed buildings, and numerous figures engaged in daily activities, all rendered with exceptional engraving precision across the rectangular field. The fine frosted relief contrasts with the mirror-polished background, accentuating the intricate pictorial detail characteristic of this celebrated Chinese commemorative series. The fineness inscription .999 appears in the lower field. |
