| Obverse description | Central field displays four Chinese ideograms arranged vertically and read top to bottom, right to left, flanked on either side by ornamental floral motifs. Manchu script appears in two columns above the central ideograms, while additional Chinese characters are inscribed below. The overall design is framed within a beaded or dotted border. The inscription collectively reads 'Xuantong Year 3, Great Qing silver currency,' combining both the reign title and denomination identification in a formal imperial style. |

| Reverse description | A long-whiskered imperial dragon rendered in high relief winds sinuously across the field, its body terminating toward the left, with a flaming pearl depicted near the base of the composition. At the centre of the dragon's coils, two Chinese ideograms reading 壹圓 (One Yuan) are prominently placed. An English legend 'ONE DOLLAR' is inscribed along the lower periphery. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border, and the dragon's scales, claws, and whiskers are executed with fine engraving detail characteristic of late Qing imperial pattern coinage. |
