The technique allows the coin to have an incredible weight and feel in the hand together with its 80mm diameter size. The collectible highlights the Azure Dragon as the focal point on the reverse with its supporting elements such as the woods. Title of the character and series is gilded in Gold. While the obverse features the ancient Chinese constellation graph surrounding an octagon shaped yin-yang as the backdrop for the legal tender.
