| Reverse description | Fan-shaped (annular sector) field featuring a vivid colored depiction of a blue dragon rendered in a traditional East Asian ink-wash artistic style, the dragon rising amid stylized crashing waves with its head turned forward, mouth agape with an orange tongue, against a background of misty mountain scenery executed in delicate grey wash. The design celebrates the Chinese Lunar Year of the Dragon. The date '2012' is inscribed vertically within a rectangular cartouche at the upper right arc of the coin. |
