| Beschrijving keerzijde | A high-relief depiction of the Azure Dragon, one of the Four Symbols of Chinese mythology, dominates the field. The dragon is rendered in elaborate detail with finely engraved scales, flowing whiskers, and sinuous claws, coiling dynamically around a polished spherical orb at the center. The textured, darkened background field provides strong contrast to the raised copper dragon. A circular legend along the border reads 'CHINESE EAVES TILE · AZURE DRAGON', referencing the traditional Chinese architectural decorative motif that inspired the design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Azure Dragon is one of the four symbols of the Chinese constellations, governing the eastern sky and associated with the spring season in Han cosmology — a motif that has driven a sustained wave of Pacific island collector issues timed to Lunar New Year cycles. Samoa has become a reliable vehicle for this market, its mint agreements producing high-weight copper pieces aimed squarely at the Chinese numismatic gift trade rather than domestic circulation.
