| Reverse description | The reverse displays a highly detailed three-dimensional colored applique of a white rabbit facing the viewer, seated upright at center, with blue-tipped ears erect and ruby-red eyes. The rabbit figure is sculpted in the round and applied to the coin surface with striking tactile relief. The field surrounding the figure is densely engraved with an intricate floral and foliate arabesque pattern in an antiqued copper finish, evoking traditional East Asian decorative motifs. To the right of the rabbit, the English legend YEAR OF THE RABBIT is inscribed vertically, accompanied below by a square decorative cartouche bearing a stylized Chinese character for rabbit (兔). |
