| Reverse description | The reverse presents an exquisitely rendered pastoral scene in the Chinese painting tradition, depicting a proud cockerel standing at left in high relief, accompanied by a seated hen and a brood of nine chicks scattered across the lower field, symbolizing prosperity and abundance. In the upper right background, a decorative rockery with flowering peony blossoms in full bloom frames the composition. The denomination 500元 is inscribed at the top of the field. The cyclical year designation 癸酉 appears at the lower right, and an artist's seal inscription 天地知白春 is present at the left. The design is rendered against a deeply mirrored proof field, emphasizing the sculptural quality of the motifs. |
