| Reverse description | The reverse presents an intricately composed high-relief design featuring a sinuous dragon and a soaring phoenix in dynamic confrontation, their forms encircling a flaming pearl at the centre — a motif evoking prosperity, harmony, and auspicious fortune in East Asian iconography. Stylised clouds rendered in the classical Chinese decorative tradition fill the background field, imparting depth and movement to the composition. The bold sculptural relief, characteristic of a proof high-relief strike, accentuates the three-dimensional quality and fine surface detail of both mythical creatures. The Perth Mint's privy mark P and the designer's initials TV appear in the field. |
