| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a gilded seahorse (hai ma) in high relief as the central motif, symbolising loyalty, devotion, and a connection to the element of water. The background field incorporates detailed architectural elements of the Forbidden City, complemented by decorative clouds and a moon, evoking classical Chinese imperial imagery. The primary inscription 'The Spine Beast of the Forbidden City' appears in English, accompanied by the Chinese characters '海马' and the romanised transliteration 'HAI MA'. The selective gilt finish on the seahorse contrasts with the silver-toned background, enhancing the three-dimensional quality of the design. |
