| Reverse description | The reverse displays an elaborate decorative composition featuring a stylized dragon's head emerging from swirling cloud formations, accompanied by a rayed sun and a plain circular moon in the field. Numerous scrolling cloud motifs of varying sizes and scattered pellets fill the surrounding field, rendered in low relief with fine curvilinear detailing. The dragon's head, positioned toward the upper center, faces toward the sun, a traditional Vietnamese numismatic iconographic pairing symbolizing imperial authority. The overall design is densely composed, characteristic of the hand-engraved Nguyễn dynasty silver tien coinage. On variety KM#257.2, the cloud forms deviate stylistically from the standard issue. |
