| 裏面の説明 | A boldly modelled five-clawed imperial dragon is depicted in high relief, facing the viewer frontally and coiled at centre, clutching a flaming pearl beneath its chest. The dragon's scaled body fills the inner field, its head rendered with prominent horns, flowing whiskers, and an open mouth. Surrounding the central dragon motif is a dense arrangement of small ruyi-shaped clouds in low relief, characteristic of the 'small clouds' variety distinguishing this pattern from related issues. The entire design is contained within a beaded inner border, with a reeded edge beyond. |

Produced at the Tianjin Central Mint during the Qing court's abortive attempt to rationalize China's monetary system, this pattern was part of a broader reform effort driven by finance minister Zhang Zhidong and later Zaize, who recognized that the tael's non-decimal, weight-based system was strangling foreign trade. The reform ultimately collapsed — provincial mints resisted centralization, the dynasty itself had fewer than five years remaining, and the proposed tael coinage never entered circulation.
The "small clouds" variety distinction is a die-state classification separating this from the large-clouds strikes, with Kann documenting both as genuine pattern issues rather than later restrikes. Surviving examples in gold are exceptionally rare by any measure — the Fr#2 reference in Friedberg's gold census reflects a minuscule confirmed population.
