| Reverse description | A sinuous imperial dragon in high relief dominates the field, depicted coiling to the left with its head oriented left, and a flaming pearl positioned near the base. The dragon is rendered in the late Qing imperial style with fine scale detail, four clawed feet, and surrounded by stylized clouds. Two large Chinese ideograms reading 壹圓 (One Yuan) occupy the central field within the dragon's coils. An English legend arcs along the lower periphery, and the entire design is enclosed within a beaded border. |
