| Reverse description | An intricately detailed high-relief depiction of the Dragon King accompanied by his nine sons drawn from Chinese mythological tradition, rendered in a dynamic composition that fills the entire field. The large-scaled body of the dragon winds diagonally across the centre of the coin, while the nine offspring — each exhibiting distinct bestial features including leonine, serpentine, and tortoise-like forms — are arrayed in animated poses surrounding the patriarch. The engraving displays exceptional depth and sculptural quality, with swirling clouds and waves providing a dramatic backdrop. The legend DRAGON & HIS NINE SONS is inscribed along the right inner border, with the engraver's initials IJ visible in the lower right field. |
