| Reverse description | A sinuous five-clawed imperial dragon rendered in high relief occupies the central field, its scaled body coiling dynamically amid stylised clouds and flames, with the flaming pearl depicted at its chest. The dragon's head faces forward with an open mouth displaying prominent teeth and elaborate whiskers. The surround bears an English-language legend divided across the upper and lower periphery, separated by two small raised dots at the sides, all within a beaded border. |
