| Reverse description | Fan-shaped reverse featuring a vibrant polychrome enamel scene depicting elegantly dressed ladies of the Jia household gathered at a banquet table, referencing a celebrated episode from 'Dream of the Red Chamber' (红楼梦). The figures are rendered in colorful traditional Han-dynasty style court dress, seated and standing around an elaborately decorated table, with one female figure standing to the left. The denomination 50元 appears in the lower right field in Chinese numerals. The design exemplifies the high artistic standards of Chinese commemorative fan-shaped coin series, combining colorization with fine milled relief work. |
