| Reverse description | Central composition depicting three ibex-type goats in a mountainous landscape rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. The dominant central goat, finished in selective gold gilding, stands facing right in a proud posture with large curved horns, while two additional goats in frosted silver finish flank the scene on rocky terrain. To the upper right, the Chinese character for goat (羊) appears in gold gilt. The legend 'YEAR OF THE GOAT' arcs along the upper border in raised Latin lettering, and a beaded border frames the entire design. |
