Reverse
The reverse celebrates the Year of the Dragon (2024) through its playful depiction of the beloved Chinese Zodiac animal. Gracefully snaking across the sky, the Dragon extends its claws and reaches for two auspicious motifs: a branch covered in plum blossoms, the Chinese New Year flower symbolizing resilience, vitality and courage; and a celebratory lantern, which is decorated with the Chinese character “龍” (“Dragon”).
