| Reverse description | A sinuous five-clawed imperial dragon is depicted in dynamic profile at the centre of the field, its body coiling amid stylised clouds and flames, with a flaming pearl represented above its head. Arabic legends are distributed around the dragon, flanking it on the left and right with additional inscription at the top and bottom of the field, all contained within a beaded inner circle and plain outer rim. The dragon's scales, claws, and whiskers are rendered in fine relief detail characteristic of late Qing provincial coinage. The overall composition follows the standard Xinjiang ration coinage format, blending Chinese iconographic tradition with Arabic script to serve the bilingual population of the region. |
