| Reverse description | A finely detailed rooster stands in profile facing left at centre, its elaborately rendered plumage conveying great naturalistic energy, with prominent tail feathers, comb, and wattles clearly delineated. The bird stands upon rocky ground amid stylised vegetation, with a cluster of bamboo stalks rising prominently to the left of the design. The Chinese character 雞 (rooster) is inscribed vertically to the left of the bamboo, representing the zodiac animal of the Year of the Rooster. The denomination 50 is displayed in large numerals across the upper field, integrated into the bamboo motif as a decorative element. |
