| Reverse description | A finely detailed rat, depicted in a naturalistic posture and rendered in high relief, reaches upward toward a tall ornamental oil lamp or candle stand upon which rests a sheaf of grain with a stylized flame above. The composition evokes traditional Chinese artistic imagery associated with the Lunar New Year. To the left, a vertical inscription in Chinese characters reads 戊辰·鼠·壹佰圆·1oz Au alongside the purity mark 成色.999 and the weight designation 1oz Au inscribed in the upper field. The denomination 100元 appears in bold numerals along the lower portion of the field. |
