| Reverse description | Central multicolor polychrome design depicts a plump, auspicious child rendered in the style of traditional Chinese New Year folk art, wearing a dark blue garment and bearing a red bindi mark on the forehead. The child clasps a large, vibrantly colored red-and-gold koi carp, symbolic of prosperity and good fortune, set against a background of lotus blossoms and lily pads. The legend 吉庆有余 (Auspicious Celebrations with Abundance) is inscribed in Chinese characters along the upper arc of the field. The denomination 5元 is prominently displayed in the lower portion of the field. |
