| Reverse description | A finely detailed, high-relief engraving of a rooster occupies the central field, depicted in full profile standing atop a stylized clump of grass or vegetation. The bird's plumage, comb, wattles, and sweeping tail feathers are rendered with meticulous precision, evoking the traditional iconography of the Chinese Lunar New Year.
