| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed, large-format depiction of a sinuous Chinese dragon in the traditional East Asian style, rendered in exceptionally high relief across the full field of this kilogram silver coin. The dragon faces left with jaws open, its scaled serpentine body coiling dynamically through stylized auspicious clouds, while lotus blossoms and buds fill the lower portion of the field, symbolizing purity and good fortune. The Chinese character 龍 (dragon) appears prominently in the upper centre field, accompanied by the country name CANADA arcing along the upper rim. The engraver's initials CRR appear discretely in the mid-right field. The deeply frosted relief of the dragon contrasts dramatically against the mirror-polished proof background, exemplifying the Royal Canadian Mint's celebrated kilogram coin artistry. |
