| Obverse description | The obverse bears a multilingual circular legend in three scripts: Manchu script running along the upper and inner border, the Latin legend 'Fung Tien Province' positioned horizontally, and the Chinese traditional characters '一兩' (One Tael) in the lower field. The legends collectively identify the issuing province and denomination, arranged around a central field without a portrait. The design is characteristic of late Qing provincial coinage, combining Manchu, Chinese, and Latin inscriptions to reflect the administrative conventions of the Guangxu era. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a large, finely detailed coiled Imperial Chinese dragon occupying the majority of the field, rendered in high relief with prominent scales, claws, and a ferocious frontal-facing head. Flames and cloud scrolls surround the dragon's body. A circular legend in traditional Chinese characters reads '大清光緒二十五年奉天機器局造' (Made by the Fengtian Machinery Bureau in the 25th year of Guangxu of the Great Qing), arranged around the periphery of the coin. A beaded inner border frames the design, with a reeded outer edge visible at the rim. |
