| Reverse description | Colorized proof reverse depicting Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, reclining leisurely on an ornate couch or bench amid a profusion of magical peaches, rendered in vibrant polychrome enamel against the brilliant mirror-proof silver field. The Monkey King is portrayed in his characteristic royal attire, holding a peach to his lips in a scene referencing the episode of the Heavenly Peach Banquet from Journey to the West. The denomination 50元 is inscribed at the upper left, and the four-character legend 蟠桃盛会 (Peach Banquet) appears at the lower right, both in Chinese characters. A decorative floral and fruit motif frames portions of the composition, enhancing the festive character of the scene. |
