| Reverse description | A boldly rendered rooster stands erect in the centre of the field, its plumage selectively gilded in gold to highlight the comb, wattles, and elaborate tail feathers, contrasting with the frosted silver background. The bird is depicted against a scenic backdrop of stylised clouds and peony blossoms rendered in low relief, evoking traditional Chinese decorative motifs. An ornate frieze of floral and scroll work in Chinese artistic style frames the upper periphery within the beaded border. The date 2005 is inscribed vertically along the left field, and the Chinese character 雞 (Rooster) appears to the right of the central device. The inscription 1 OZ 999 SILVER is engraved along the lower exergue. |
