| Reverse description | The reverse presents a decorative composition referencing the five Chinese Wu Xing elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, rendered as symbolic motifs arranged around the central rotating Yin Yang charm insert. The Yin Yang symbol, finished in antique style, spins freely as a mechanical element set within the coin's body. The inscriptions identifying each element are placed in the surrounding field, accompanied by the coin's purity and weight designation. The overall design draws on traditional Chinese cosmological iconography in a stylized numismatic format. |
