| Reverse description | Central raised convex medallion bearing two large Chinese characters (黔寶, meaning 'Qian Treasure') in bold relief within a plain circular field, surrounded by a toothed inner border. An elaborate decorative wreath of stylized floral and foliate branches encircles the central device, tied at the base with a ribbon bow and surmounted by a chrysanthemum blossom at the apex. The overall design is deeply struck in the characteristic Kweichow 'silver cake' style, with a reeded outer rim. |
