| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a finely detailed rendering of a Warring States period bronze human-figure lamp, in which a kneeling servant figure supports a large circular lamp dish aloft on one raised hand. Smaller animated human figures in dynamic poses are arranged around the base of the lamp in the lower field, capturing the lively decorative style of the period. The denomination 50元 appears to the right of the central motif, with the Chinese legend 战国人形灯 (Warring States Human Figure Lamp) inscribed vertically along the right margin. A further vertical inscription 中国人民银行 (People's Bank of China) runs along the left margin. |
