| Reverse description | A sinuous Chinese dragon, rendered in high relief and highlighted in gold and red colorization, is depicted curling into the form of the numeral eight against an antiqued silver field. The creature is shown in dynamic pursuit of a flaming pearl, a motif symbolizing wisdom and enlightenment in Chinese iconography. Fine scale and claw detail accentuate the sculptural depth of the design, created by engraver Ing Ing Jong. The single Chinese character 龍 (dragon) appears as the principal legend on the reverse field. |
