| Reverse description | Central device depicts a sinuous five-clawed imperial dragon rendered in high relief, its scaled body coiling dynamically across the field and its fierce, front-facing head positioned at centre with an open mouth and prominent whiskers. A flaming pearl is shown beneath the dragon's body at the centre base, flanked by stylised cloud scrolls and flame elements that fill the surrounding field. Two small circular pellets appear in the lower field, one to each side of the dragon's tail, serving as visual separators for the surrounding legend. The circumferential Latin legend reads '29TH YEAR OF KUANG HSÜ' along the upper arc and 'HU POO' along the lower arc, denoting the regnal year and the Board of Revenue as issuing authority. The entire design is contained within a toothed milled border. |
