Reverse description Reverse presents a finely detailed proof composition featuring a rooster and hen accompanied by several chicks, rendered in high relief with exceptional naturalistic detail against a smooth polished gold field. The adult rooster stands prominently to the left with elaborately engraved tail plumage and comb, while the hen and chicks occupy the right portion of the design in a familial scene characteristic of Chinese New Year iconography. The denomination 2000元 is inscribed in the upper right corner of the field. A small artist's or mint signature mark appears in the lower left area. The overall design conveys prosperity and fertility in keeping with traditional Lunar New Year symbolism.
