| Reverse description | The reverse presents a lively scene from the traditional Chinese Lion Dance, depicting two costumed lion figures and a performer holding a decorative ball, capturing the dynamic movement and pageantry of this ancient folk art. The inscription 狮子舞 (Lion Dance) appears in the upper left field, accompanied by the notation 公元190年始 (originating circa 190 AD) to the upper right, referencing the historical origins of the tradition. The denomination 5元 is prominently inscribed in the lower centre of the field. The design is executed in high relief against a polished field, characteristic of proof-quality numismatic issues. |
