| Reverse description | The reverse features a bold and dynamic composition depicting a Chinese dragon and a white tiger confronting one another across the central field, separated by a luminous orb or pearl. The dragon, rendered in intricate relief with scales and sinuous curves, occupies the right side, while the powerful tiger crouches in a striking posture on the left, surrounded by stylised flames and auspicious clouds. The composition draws on traditional Chinese iconography in which the dragon and tiger symbolise complementary cosmic forces. The Perth Mint's 'P' mintmark and the designer's initials TV appear in the lower field. |
