| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly detailed depiction of a central Bodhisattva figure seated atop a white elephant, attended by two standing celestial figures on either side, all rendered within a heavenly scene with nimbus halos and flowing robes characteristic of the Northern Wei Buddhist sculptural tradition of the Yungang Grottoes. The composition captures the monumental scale and devotional artistry of the cave carvings, with fine relief detail emphasizing drapery, facial expressions, and symbolic iconography. The denomination 2000元 is inscribed in the lower right field. |
