A circular Chinese legend surrounds the effigy, reading from upper right to left: 中華民國 (Republic of China) to the right, 總理紀念幣 (Prime Minister's Commemorative Coin) across the top, and 十六年造 (Made in Year 16) to the left, flanked by six-pointed star ornaments. The coin's milled border frames the design with a continuous reeded rim. |
