| Reverse description | A bold, highly sculptural three-dimensional gold-plated effigy of a coiled Chinese dragon dominates the centre of the field, rendered in extraordinary high relief with intricate scale, claw, and facial detailing. Two dragon heads face each other at the top, their bodies intertwining symmetrically around a central pearl or orb, with taloned feet visible at the lower portion of the design. The gold plating contrasts sharply with the polished silver field surrounding the raised sculptural element. The arc legend YEAR OF THE DRAGON is inscribed in stylised lettering along the upper left periphery, and the date 2012 appears in the lower exergue. |
