| Obverse description | Four large Chinese ideograms arranged in a cruciform pattern, reading top to bottom and right to left, with Manchu script characters occupying the central field. A surrounding border of additional Chinese ideograms forms the outer legend, denoting the issuing province, the reign title of the Guangxu Emperor, and the denomination expressed as 7 Mace and 2 Candareens. The overall layout follows the traditional Chinese cash-coin arrangement adapted to a Western milled format. |

| Reverse description | A finely detailed five-clawed imperial dragon rendered in high relief occupies the central field, shown in a writhing posture with head facing forward and a flaming pearl beneath its body, set above stylized waves at the base. Auspicious cloud formations flank the dragon on either side. The circumferential English legend reads 'CHE-KIANG PROVINCE' along the upper arc and '7 MACE AND 2 CANDAREENS' along the lower arc, separated by the numeral '7' at the left. The entire design is bordered by an inner beaded ring and an outer reeded rim, consistent with provincial dragon dollar coinage of the late Qing period. |
