| Reverse description | A majestic Chinese dragon rendered in vivid applied color — predominantly gold, green, and orange — coils dynamically across the central field, its scaled body emerging from stylized crashing waves and swirling clouds executed in finely detailed relief against a frosted background. The dragon's head, depicted in three-quarter view at the upper right, features elaborate horns, an open jaw, and richly colored iridescent scales, conveying power and auspicious energy. To the upper left, the cyclical calendar inscription 甲辰 (Jiǎ Chén, denoting the Year of the Dragon in the sexagenary cycle) is incised in Chinese characters. The denomination 50元 is inscribed in bold relief at the lower right field. |
