| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a finely detailed rat, rendered in high relief, rearing up on its hind legs and gazing at an elegant Han Dynasty-style bronze lamp (a changxin palace lamp form), from which smoke or flame rises. The scene evokes classical Chinese art and is set against a deeply mirrored proof field. Along the upper arc, the purity and weight inscription reads '.9995 1 oz Pt', flanked by Chinese characters 成色 (purity) to the left. A vertical column of Chinese characters at the left identifies the series as the Chinese lunar calendar commemorative issue, and the denomination 100元 appears in the lower field. |
