| Obverse description | Central field bears two large Chinese ideograms (大清, meaning 'Great Qing') flanked by Manchu script legends arranged vertically on either side. An outer ring of Chinese characters encircles the composition, recording the mint name (Bei Yang Arsenal), the reign title (Guangxu), and the regnal year (22nd year). The denomination '一角' (1 Jiao) appears at the base. The design is entirely typographic, with no figurative elements, rendered in a formal imperial style consistent with late Qing dynasty coinage. |

| Reverse description | A large imperial Chinese dragon rendered in detailed relief occupies the central field, depicted facing forward with its body coiled, claws extended, and a flaming pearl at the centre. The dragon's head is prominent with an open mouth and elaborate mane, surrounded by stylized clouds and flames. Two five-pointed stars serve as separators within the encircling Latin legend, which reads along the upper and lower periphery. The milled border frames the entire composition. |
