| Reverse description | The reverse features an intricately detailed, large-scale dragon's head rendered in exceptional high relief, filling virtually the entire field and coiling upon itself in a manner evoking East Asian mythological tradition. The dragon's visage is depicted frontally, with finely engraved scales, flowing mane-like spines radiating outward, and coiling whiskers flanking the muzzle. The background field is treated with a contrasting gold-toned antique finish, dramatically highlighting the silvered sculptural relief of the dragon. The inscription HAUT-RELIEF appears along the lower edge of the design, while the weight and fineness legend 5 OZ .999 AG is engraved vertically along the right field. The engraver's signature P. DeGreef is visible in the left field. |
