| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dramatic frontal effigy of the Egyptian dragon in exceptionally high sculptural relief, the creature rearing upright with its snarling open jaws, horned and feathered head turned to the right, and large membranous wings fully extended to fill the shaped flan. The heavily scaled torso is rendered with meticulous detail, and a single inset green gemstone forms the dragon's eye, adding a vivid chromatic accent to the antiqued silver surface. The coiling tail and powerful taloned hind foot are visible in the lower field, while the background retains a smooth, darkened finish that emphasises the three-dimensional relief of the design. |
