The peripheral legend encircles the portrait, reading the royal titles in abbreviated Latin. The initials J.C., denoting engraver Jody Clark, appear at the truncation. The design presents a refined, mature portrait consistent with the fifth coinage portrait series introduced in 2015. |

The circular legend arcs around the design, with the date 2023 and the Chinese character 兔 (rabbit) positioned above the central motif. The engraver's initials LM, for Louie Maryon, appear within the design. The composition blends Western and East Asian artistic elements in celebration of the Lunar New Year. |
