Reverse description Central motif depicts a two-masted Chinese sailing junk under full sail, shown three-quarters to starboard and navigating choppy waves, with three seagulls in flight in the lower field beneath the hull. To the right, stylised rays of a rising sun emanate from behind the horizon. The surrounding legend in Chinese characters reading 金本位幣壹圓 (Gold Standard currency / 1 Yuan) is distributed in the upper and side fields around the central design, with individual characters placed at intervals around the periphery.
