| Reverse description | Rectangular proof field bearing a vivid colorized depiction of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea (八仙过海), one of the most celebrated scenes from Chinese folk mythology. The eight immortal figures are portrayed in full color in dynamic procession across stylized blue waves, each distinguished by their traditional attributes and robes in contrasting hues. The vertical inscription 八仙过海 appears along the right border, and the denomination 50元 is inscribed in the lower left field. The polychrome enamel application contrasts brilliantly against the mirror-proof silver background, exemplifying the colorized commemorative series issued by the People's Bank of China. |
