Reverse description A sinuous five-clawed imperial dragon is depicted in high relief at the center, shown in profile amid stylized clouds, its body coiling across the field. Four Chinese characters in traditional regular script are arranged around the dragon, reading top to bottom and right to left. The design follows the established conventions of late Qing dragon coinage, with the dragon rendered in a detailed, naturalistic manner typical of patterns produced for imperial approval during the Xuantong reign.
