| Reverse description | Eight galloping and rearing horses depicted in high relief, arranged in a continuous procession encircling the central aperture of the annular flan. The horses are shown in varied dynamic poses including full gallop, rear, and trot, conveying energy and freedom associated with the Chinese lunar Year of the Horse. A textured grassy ground line borders the inner and outer edges of the annular field, rendered in fine frosted relief against a deeply mirrored proof background. No inscriptions or legends appear on this face. The design draws on traditional Chinese artistic representations of the horse as a symbol of vitality and prosperity. |
