| Reverse description | Two confronting dragons rendered in a sinuous, stylized manner frame the central field on either side, their bodies curving to form a wreath-like enclosure around the denomination inscription. At center, two large Chinese characters — 一 (one) above 兩 (liang/tael) — are prominently displayed in raised relief. A small flaming pearl or decorative element appears at the top between the dragon heads. The overall composition follows traditional Chinese imperial coin iconography adapted to a milled Western-style format. |
