The mon features three paulownia flower clusters arranged in the traditional 5-7-5 blossom pattern atop broad lobed leaves, with the central stem rising tallest. Below the foliage, a prominent seven-petalled chrysanthemum-like flower is depicted in full bloom. The design occupies nearly the entire field and is enclosed by a finely toothed beaded border identical to the obverse. |
