| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a stylized rat rendered in fine line engraving against a deeply frosted, dark mirror field, evoking the Chinese lunar zodiac theme. The rat is shown in a dynamic, curled posture with prominent whiskers, rounded ears, and a long curved tail sweeping upward to the left, encircling the composition. The right portion of the field is left in a polished, lighter crescent-shaped area, contrasting with the frosted background to suggest a yin-yang compositional balance. The design is unlettered and occupies the full flan within the raised rim, with no exergual inscription. |
