| Reverse description | A finely detailed Chinese imperial dragon, depicted in high relief, is shown in profile facing left with its sinuous body coiling across the field, clutching a flaming pearl beneath its claws. The dragon's scales, whiskers, and flame-like appendages are rendered with characteristic late Qing dynasty artistry. Two rosette ornaments appear in the left and right fields flanking the dragon. The surrounding Latin legend, separated from the central device by an inner dotted ring and outer beaded border, reads 'AN-HWEI PROVINCE' along the upper arc and '7 MACE AND 2 CANDAREENS' along the lower arc, indicating the issuing province and silver weight standard. |
