| Reverse description | A magnificent Chinese dragon rendered in intricate high relief dominates the central field, its sinuous scaled body coiling dynamically across the entire reverse. In the upper portion of the field, a phoenix is depicted in flight with elaborate plumage spread above the dragon, the two mythical creatures intertwined in a traditional auspicious composition. The denomination numeral '5' appears in the central field to the right, accompanied by the Chinese character 角 (jiǎo) immediately beside it. Decorative cloud motifs in stylized Chinese form flank the design on both sides. The deeply mirrored proof field provides a striking contrast to the finely frosted relief of the mythological figures. |
