| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a pair of mandarin ducks with crossing necks, a classical symbol of conjugal devotion and fidelity in Chinese culture, set against a background of twin lotus flowers blooming on a single stalk — a motif known as 并蒂同心 (Bìng Dì Tóng Xīn). The Chinese inscription 并蒂同心 appears in the field, conveying the poetic sentiment of 'twin lotus flowers on one stalk and a devoted couple united in heart.' The composition is rendered in fine relief within the heart-shaped format, emphasizing the romantic and auspicious symbolism of the design. |
