| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dramatic, deeply struck high-relief depiction of Huang Long, the Yellow Dragon King of the Four Seas from Chinese mythology, rendered in a traditional East Asian artistic style with locally applied gold gilding across the entire design. The serpentine dragon coils dynamically across the field, its scaled body occupying virtually the full diameter of the coin, with its fierce horned head facing the viewer at centre and a flaming pearl clutched in one claw at lower left. The background field is treated with a swirling amber-toned finish evoking water and clouds. To the lower right, a bilingual legend panel contains the Latin inscription HUANG LONG / DRAGON KING / OF THE FOUR SEAS alongside the large Chinese character 黄龙 (Huang Long) rendered in a bold calligraphic style. |
