Reverse description A finely detailed Imperial Chinese dragon is depicted in high relief at the centre, shown in a coiled, confronting posture with a flaming pearl at its belly and stylised wave motifs along the lower field. The dragon's scales, claws, and whiskers are rendered with considerable engraving detail characteristic of late Qing provincial coinage. Two rosette or asterisk ornaments flank the dragon at the mid-field. The circular English legend surrounding the design reads 'CHE-KIANG PROVINCE' at the top and '7 MACE AND 2 CANDAREENS' at the bottom, all within a toothed or reeded border.
