| Obverse description | Two sinuous, stylized dragons in low relief flank a central vertical inscription, their bodies forming a wreath-like border around the field. The dragons are rendered in a simple, archaic style with scaled bodies curling inward toward the legend. At center, two large Chinese characters occupy the field in bold relief. No additional peripheral legend is present, and the overall design is austere and geometric in character. |

| Reverse description | Two sinuous stylized dragons, similar in treatment to those on the obverse, are arranged symmetrically on either side of a central vertical two-character Chinese inscription. The reverse design closely mirrors the obverse, consistent with the mule nature of this pattern piece, featuring the same simple dragon forms framing the denomination characters in the central field. A small floral or circular ornament appears at the top of the design between the dragon heads. The overall composition is plain, with no outer legend or border inscription. |
