| Reverse description | Two highly detailed, naturalistically rendered rats face each other in the central field within a circular cartouche, with small spherical objects between them, symbolizing abundance and prosperity. A sprig of grapes with leaves decorates the upper left corner of the rectangular flan, adding a traditional auspicious motif. The denomination '2000元' is inscribed in the upper right field, and the cyclical year designation '戊子' appears in the lower left, referencing the Year of the Rat in the Chinese sexagenary cycle. The entire composition is framed by a finely milled rectangular border, struck to proof standard on .999 fine gold. |
