| Descrição do reverso |
The reverse presents a richly detailed high-relief depiction of the Dou Niu (Ox-Dragon), a mythological chimeric creature associated in Chinese tradition with dominion over water and protection against floods, rendered in applied gilt to distinguish it from the surrounding field. The background incorporates architectural elements characteristic of the Forbidden City in Beijing, complemented by decorative clouds and a moon in the field. The English inscription THE SPINE BEAST OF THE FORBIDDEN CITY appears prominently, accompanied by the Chinese characters 斗牛 and their romanization DOU NIU. The overall composition evokes traditional Chinese imperial iconography within a numismatic collector format. |
