| Reverse description | The reverse presents a charming depiction of a stylised rabbit standing upright in the centre of the field, referencing the Chinese zodiac Year of the Rabbit. The rabbit holds a heart-shaped cartouche bearing the Chinese character 福 (fortune/luck) on its chest. To the left, two flowering plants with serrated leaves rise from the ground line, which curves in an oval around the composition. Heart-shaped ornaments are scattered throughout the field, and a Chinese character appears to the lower right. A beaded border encircles the entire design. The year 1999, indicating the actual Chinese zodiac year of the Rabbit, appears along the lower ground line within the oval frame. |
