| Reverse description | A highly detailed three-dimensional sculptural depiction of a coiled snake dominates the reverse field, its sinuous body rendered in high relief and wrapping around a cracked egg at the centre. The Chinese character 蛇 (snake) is engraved on the surface of the egg, serving as the focal motif. Ornate decorative scrollwork borders the central composition, enhancing the overall three-dimensional effect. The legend YEAR OF THE SNAKE arcs along the upper left portion of the field, and the date 2013 is inscribed along the lower exergue. The antique finish accentuates the deeply struck relief and fine surface detail of the serpent's scales. |
