| Reverse description | The reverse features a central oval cartouche with applied color, depicting a standing female figure — Lilith — with flowing hair, her nude form entwined by a large serpent coiling about her body, rendered in vivid green colorization against a textured dark green background. The central oval is framed by an elaborate geometric design incorporating traditional East Asian decorative meander motifs and angular fret patterns. The Chinese character 蛇 (snake) appears to the right of the oval within the decorative surround. The legend 'THE YEAR OF THE SNAKE' arcs along the upper periphery and '2013' is inscribed along the lower right, both within a beaded border. |
