| Reverse description | Central motif depicts three rats rendered in selective gilt gold finish, grouped dynamically around a spray of tall grasses or grain stalks, also gilt, evoking an abundant harvest scene associated with the Chinese zodiac Year of the Rat. A Traditional Mongolian script inscription appears vertically at center above the rats. The central composition is enclosed within an ornate beaded chain border, beyond which a broad decorative outer border features additional relief-sculpted rats in four cardinal positions interspersed with foliate and architectural ornamental elements, all in matte silver finish. The overall design exhibits strong East Asian artistic influence appropriate to the lunar calendar commemorative series. |
