| Reverse description | A vividly colored Chinese dragon rendered in red and green dominates the central field, depicted with its mouth wide open in a dynamic, serpentine pose. The inscription 'L'année du Dragon' arcs along the left side of the design. To the left, the Chinese character '龍' (dragon) is positioned above the date '2012' in the lower field. The color application highlights the dragon's scales and sinuous form in the polychrome enamel technique characteristic of this commemorative series. |
