| Reverse description | A highly detailed, three-dimensional representation of the He Zun, a celebrated Western Zhou dynasty bronze ritual wine vessel, is depicted in the centre of the field, its flared mouth, taotie mask body, and stepped square foot rendered with exceptional sculptural precision. The background field is filled with an intricate pattern of ancient Chinese bronze inscription characters (金文 jinwen), creating a rich textured ground that evokes the vessel's historical and epigraphic significance. The legend 国家宝藏·何尊 (National Treasure — He Zun) is inscribed in modern Chinese characters along the upper arc of the field, while the denomination 200元 appears to the right of the vessel in bold numerals. To the left, a vertical column of large stylised bronze-script characters further references the vessel's famous inscription containing the earliest known written record of the term 中国 (China). |
