| Reverse description | A coiled snake, rendered in high relief and encrusted with red and clear Czech pavé gemstones set in gold-plated mounts, dominates the left half of the field. To the right, a finely detailed landscape vignette depicts steep rocky mountains, a stairway ascending toward a traditional Chinese pavilion temple, and a leafy tree rendered in the engraved field. The Chinese character 和 (harmony) and the word HARMONY are inscribed vertically to the center-right, with the Chinese character 蛇 (snake) displayed within a square seal cartouche at lower center-right. The curved outer legend reads YEAR OF THE SNAKE 2013 along the upper border. |
