| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed proof depiction of two long-haired Pekingese dogs in a naturalistic outdoor setting, one reclining and one in a playful forward pose, rendered with exceptional sculptural relief. A flowering branch extends from the upper left, adding an elegant botanical element to the composition. The cyclical year designation 丙戌 appears in the upper right field, identifying this as the Year of the Dog in the Chinese lunisolar calendar. The denomination 50元 is inscribed in the lower left field. The overall artistic style reflects traditional Chinese painting aesthetics transposed into high-relief numismatic form. |
