| Reverse description | The reverse displays a finely detailed gilded Chinese dragon rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished black field, its sinuous body coiling dynamically across the entire design area with scaled texture, clawed feet, and an expressive horned head breathing wisps of flame. Stylized clouds appear in the background field. The legend YEAR OF THE DRAGON arcs along the upper periphery in Latin characters, while the Chinese character 龍 (dragon) and the date 2012 are inscribed at the bottom center. The border is composed of an intricate decorative band featuring alternating geometric link patterns and beaded pearl motifs in the traditional Chinese style. |
