| Reverse description | A shaven-headed Shaolin monk, bare-chested and wearing prayer beads, is depicted in a dynamic Dragon-style kung fu stance, his right hand poised in a strike directed toward the head of a large Chinese dragon that dominates the right and lower field. The dragon's head is rendered in high relief, its open jaws and scaled body coiling across the lower reverse, with two amber-coloured Swarovski crystals set as the dragon's eyes. In the lower centre, a gilt roundel bearing the Chinese character 龍 (dragon) is set within a decorative meander border. The legend SHAOLIN KUNG FU is inscribed vertically along the left rim in relief lettering against a textured background of swirling clouds and dragon scales. |
