| Reverse description | A highly detailed Chinese dragon in high relief coils around and frames a traditional abacus, its scaled body forming the border of the irregularly shaped flan. The dragon's head is rendered in fine detail at the upper left, with its body curling along the top and right side before looping beneath the abacus at the base. The abacus is depicted in three-quarter perspective, showing two rows of beads on multiple rods separated by a central beam, rendered with precise sculptural detail. The overall composition references East Asian symbolism of prosperity and calculation, executed with antique gold-plated finish. |
