| Reverse description | The central intaglio vignette portrays an open-cast coal mine with a large steam-powered excavator loading ore into rail wagons, rendered in fine line engraving against a hatched background evoking industrial scale. Symmetrical decorative panels with stylised green floral and arboreal motifs on a cream guilloche underprint flank the vignette on either side. The National Emblem of the People's Republic of China appears in red at the upper right, with the romanised bank title ZHONGGUO RENMIN YINHANG and dual numeral 5 across the top, the date 1960 in a lower border cartouche, and the denomination 5 / WU YUAN printed vertically in green at the lower right. |
