| Reverse description | Central field features the Chinese character 福 (good fortune) rendered in a stylized calligraphic form within an ornamental cartouche, framed by an elaborate decorative composition of swirling clouds, auspicious floral motifs, and traditional folk-art elements evoking a festive New Year scroll or door decoration. Delicate branch and blossom designs flank the central motif on either side. The denomination 3元 is inscribed in Chinese characters and Arabic numerals along the lower portion of the field. The overall design draws on traditional Chinese decorative arts associated with the Spring Festival. |

| Additional information |
The "Yuan Fu" (鸢飞) series was issued under the broader framework of China's annual festive silver programs, which the People's Bank of China expanded significantly during the 2010s as domestic demand for commemorative precious metal coins accelerated sharply. This particular 3 Yuan denomination is an unusual face value — a deliberate break from the more common 10 Yuan silver issues — introduced partly to offer a lower entry price point for collectors and partly to align the coin's weight with traditional auspicious numerology in Chinese gift-giving culture.
