| Reverse description | The reverse features a vivid colored depiction of a cat playfully reaching toward a butterfly in flight, a scene drawn from classical Chinese iconography in which the cat (māo, 猫) and butterfly (dié, 蝶) together evoke the idiom 耄耋 (màodié), a traditional term for advanced old age, thus symbolizing longevity and good fortune. The composition is rendered in polychrome enamel-style coloring against a subtly patterned field. The four-character Chinese idiom 美意延年 (měi yì yán nián), meaning a cheerful and optimistic spirit brings longevity, is inscribed prominently, complemented by the denomination 30元 (30 Yuan) in the lower portion of the field. |
