| Reverse description | A paper-cut style design dominates the reverse, featuring a stylized snake whose body is artistically composed to form the auspicious Chinese character 福 (Fu, meaning good fortune). The composition is enriched with traditional decorative motifs including bats symbolizing happiness and swirling cloud patterns, all rendered in the characteristic bold and intricate style of Chinese folk paper-cutting art. The cyclical heavenly stem and earthly branch inscription 乙巳, denoting the Year of the Snake in the traditional Chinese calendar, appears within the design. The denomination 500元 is inscribed in the field. |
