Above the central characters, a horizontal band of Chinese characters reads the full commemorative title of the Republic of China. Below the wreath, the English legend 'ONE DOLLAR' appears in capital letters. The overall composition is symmetrical and formal, consistent with Western commemorative medallic traditions applied to Chinese coinage. |
