A Chinese legend arcs above the effigy, reading the date in the Republic of China calendar. The entire design is contained within an ornate beaded or decorative border, characteristic of the second-series pattern coinage of the mid-1930s. The field is smooth and the portrait follows the standard typology established for Republic of China silver pattern issues of this period. |
