| Obverse description | Central field bears five large Chinese characters arranged vertically and horizontally reading 大清銀幣壹圓 (Great Qing Silver Currency One Yuan), enclosed within a beaded inner circle. A Manchu script legend arcs across the upper portion of the coin, outside the beaded circle, reading the equivalent imperial inscription. Flanking the central legend on either side are finely rendered floral sprays — a narcissus to the left and a peony to the right — in high relief. The entire design is bordered by a reeded rim with an outer ring of fine dentils. |

A flaming pearl appears below the dragon's head at the bottom of the inner circle. The denomination mark '$1' appears in the exergue below the inner circle. Four Chinese characters 宣統年造 (Made in the reign of Xuantong) are arranged along the upper periphery outside the beaded circle, flanked at each side by a stylized rosette or floral ornament. Decorative floral sprays occupy the lower left and right fields between the inner circle and the dentilated rim. |
