| Reverse description | A powerfully rendered tiger is depicted standing full-face, advancing toward the viewer with forepaws planted on a rocky outcrop adorned with flowering vegetation, set against a mountainous landscape in the background. A beaded inner circle frames the central design, with an outer border of Chinese characters relating to the lunar year and auspicious inscriptions encircling the field. At upper left, the Latin legend 'YEAR OF THE TIGER' arcs around the border, accompanied by Chinese characters including the cyclical year designation. A rectangular cartouche bearing Chinese characters appears to the right of the tiger. The denomination '$2500' is inscribed at the bottom of the field within the beaded border. |
