| Obverse description | Plain field bearing four large Chinese characters arranged in two columns, read from top to bottom and right to left, conveying the denomination 'Silver Ration / One Liang.' The characters are rendered in a bold, slightly informal hand within a central dotted inner circle. The outer border is defined by a raised rim with a continuous beaded or dentilated collar, with no additional legend or ornamental device in the field. |

| Reverse description | A sinuous five-clawed Imperial dragon occupies the entire field, depicted in high relief coiling across the center with its head facing left and a flaming pearl held before it. The dragon's scales, claws, and whiskers are rendered in fine detail, surrounded by stylized cloud formations and flame scrolls dispersed throughout the field. Small floral or rosette devices appear at the cardinal points flanking the dragon. The design is enclosed by a beaded inner circle and an outer dentilated border consistent with the obverse, with no inscriptions or legends on this side. |
