Reverse
The bullion bar has a wavy base pattern running diagonally ascending from the left to the right. The centerpiece of the coin is a Chinese dragon with an open mouth looping through the bullion bar. The Dragon has 5 major loops and a small one at the end of its tail. The Dragon holds a ball of fire in its upper right paw.
On the bottom left edge, the word dragon is engraved in traditional Chinese and English.
At the bottom of the third loop, next to the leg, the letters SR are engraved and visible to the naked eye, but subtle. These letters are probably the initials of the designer Sean Rogers.
There are microlaser engravings:
- in the mouth, the number 5 (Unknown purpose)
- on the tip of the tail, the year 2024 (the year of mintage)
- on the tip of the letter A of the English word DRAGON a letter P (supposedly the mintmark)
The microlaser engravings are only visible under a magnifying glass or microscope.
Script: Chinese (traditional, regular script)
