Coloured decorative cloud motifs in red and gold occupy the four cardinal border positions. To the right of the rooster, the Chinese character 雞 (Rooster) is inscribed in traditional script. The date 2005 appears vertically along the left field, and the inscription 5 OZ 999 SILVER is incused along the lower exergue. |
