| Reverse description | Rectangular flan with a mirror-proof black field enclosed by a decorative Greek-key meander border in the coin's outer frame. The principal design features two imposing gilt Chinese dragons rendered in bold high relief with selective gold gilding applied to their scaled bodies, claws, and horned heads. The two dragons face each other in dynamic, sinuous poses, each coiled across opposing sides of the field, their heads converging at the centre. Between the dragons, at the focal point of the composition, is an inlaid circular red crystal representing the flaming pearl or dragon ball, bezel-set into the coin's surface. The date 2012 is inscribed in the lower central field in raised Latin numerals. |
