| Obverse description | Central design features the Chinese character 和 (hé, meaning 'harmony') rendered in a bold, stylized calligraphic script occupying the majority of the field. Behind the principal character, a second, larger rendering of the same character appears in an archaic seal script style, executed in fine line engraving against a lightly striated background, creating a layered artistic composition. A legend in smaller cursive script characters appears along the upper right portion of the field, presenting additional calligraphic variations of the same character across different historical script styles. The overall design celebrates the tradition of Chinese calligraphy and the cultural concept of harmony. |
