| Reverse description | A vibrantly colored red Chinese dragon is depicted in dynamic motion across a stylized field of rolling waves, rendered in selective color applied over a proof-finished silver surface. The dragon surges upward toward the left, its clawed feet extended and its sinuous body coiling diagonally across the composition, pursuing a luminous pearl amid swirling clouds and spiral motifs. To the lower right, the Chinese character 龍 (dragon) is prominently incused in a cartouche-style field. The Perth Mint mintmark P appears at the left edge, while the engraver's initials DB are visible at the lower left. The inscription 1oz 999 SILVER is engraved along the lower right margin. |
