| Obverse description | This is a decorative coin featuring a vibrant, embossed image of an oriental dragon. The dragon is depicted in mid-flight, coiled in a dynamic pose, with intricate detailing across its scales, claws, and flaming whiskers. Its body is painted in shades of red, orange, and purple, giving a vivid and powerful appearance. The background is gold-toned with a textured surface, enhancing the contrast and depth of the dragon motif. Stylized clouds and waves are illustrated beneath the dragon, adding to the mythological atmosphere. The coin`s reflective, mirror-like finish suggests it is likely a commemorative or novelty piece rather than legal tender. |

| Reverse description | The reverse side of the coin features a sophisticated and ornate design with strong Chinese cultural symbolism. At the center are four vertically arranged Chinese characters: 龍鳳呈祥 (`Lóng fèng chéng xiáng`), which translates to “The dragon and phoenix bring prosperity”—a traditional blessing often associated with harmony, fortune, and auspicious unions. The coin is divided into three vertical panels. The middle panel contains the calligraphic characters, while the left panel features a finely detailed golden dragon, and the right panel depicts a majestic phoenix. Decorative scrollwork borders each panel, enhancing the elegant, traditional aesthetic. The black background provides strong contrast, making the gold engravings stand out vividly. |
