| Reverse description | Central high-relief depiction of the Suan Ni — a lion-like mythical beast from Chinese imperial tradition — rendered in selective gold gilding and seated in three-quarter view against a deeply recessed black field. To the upper right, the ornate glazed-tile roof ridge of a Forbidden City palace hall is rendered in fine detail, populated with decorative ridge-end figures. To the lower left, an architectural elevation of a Forbidden City hall is shown in silver relief, accompanied by a full moon and stylised auspicious clouds. The scalloped inner border evokes a decorative stamp or seal motif. The legend 'The Spine Beast of the Forbidden City' arcs along the upper border in Latin script; to the right of the central figure appear the Chinese characters '狻猊' and the romanisation 'SUAN NI' beneath. |
