| Reverse description | A highly detailed depiction of a Chinese celestial dragon occupies the central field, rendered in fine relief with intricately engraved scales, claws, and flowing whiskers, its sinuous body coiling prominently as it faces the viewer with an open maw. The background features a delicately engraved landscape of stylised trees, rocks, and foliage in the traditional Chinese artistic tradition. The Chinese character 龍 (dragon) is inscribed in the lower centre of the field. The arc legend YEAR OF THE DRAGON · 2024 curves along the upper periphery, with the designer's initials WW incused at the lower right of the field. |
