| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a dramatically composed dual-register depiction of Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the Four Seas from Chinese mythology. In the upper half, a highly detailed Chinese dragon rendered in antique silver relief emerges from stylized clouds, its sinuous scaled body coiling powerfully across the field. The lower half of the design features the same dragon continuing beneath the surface of the sea, rendered in vivid azure-teal enamel coloring to evoke the underwater realm. To the left of the design, the name 'AO GUANG' appears in Latin script above the subtitle 'DRAGON KING OF THE FOUR SEAS', with large Chinese characters (敖廣) prominently inscribed beside them. The interplay between the antique silver relief and the colored enamel creates a striking yin-yang visual division between sky and sea. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Azure Dragon is one of the Four Symbols of Chinese astronomy, governing the east and the spring season — a subject with no particular connection to the six BEAC member states of central Africa. Coins like this one are struck purely for the numismatic export market, using the BEAC's issuing authority as a legal vehicle while targeting collectors in East Asia and Europe. The copper core beneath the silver cladding accounts for the coin's substantial heft without the cost of a solid two-ounce silver strike.
