| Reverse description | A finely detailed relief of a monkey perched dynamically on a tree branch occupies the central and left portion of the rectangular field, rendered with exceptional naturalistic detail in its fur texture and musculature, its gaze directed outward. In the upper right portion of the field, a stylized folk-art depiction of a monkey face — rendered in traditional Chinese paper-cut or New Year woodblock print style — appears incuse in the mirror-like background. The denomination 2000元 is inscribed in the upper left corner, and the cyclical Chinese characters 丙申 (Bingshén, denoting the Year of the Monkey in the sexagenary cycle) appear in the lower right corner. The composition celebrates the Chinese Lunar New Year of the Monkey (2016) through a harmonious blend of realistic and traditional decorative artistic styles. |
