Reverse description A highly detailed depiction of an Asian Arowana (Golden Dragon Fish) leaps dynamically upward across the central field, its large scales and elongated barbels rendered with fine engraving detail. To the upper left, an oval cartouche bears the Chinese character '福' (fortune/luck), while the Chinese characters '金龍魚' (Golden Dragon Fish) appear vertically along the right margin. A lotus flower and aquatic vegetation are visible in the lower right background, evoking a natural pond setting. The Latin legend '1/25 OZ 999.9 FINE GOLD' arcs along the left rim, and the denomination '10,000 Kip' together with 'GOLDEN DRAGON FISH' appears along the lower periphery.
