| Reverse description | A sinuous Chinese celestial dragon rendered in finely detailed relief dominates the field, its scaled serpentine body coiling dynamically across the lotus-shaped flan amid stylised clouds rendered in a traditional East Asian artistic style. The dragon's head faces left with open jaws, antler-like horns, and flowing mane, while its tail extends toward the upper right. In the lower right foreground, blooming lotus flowers and lily pads are depicted in meticulous detail, serving as the thematic counterpart to the coin's 'Lunar Lotus' series designation. The Chinese character '龍' (dragon) appears in the upper left field, and the engraver's initials 'CRR' are incused in the mid-right field. |
