| Reverse description | A powerful winged dragon rendered in high relief is depicted in flight, facing left and occupying the central field, with scaled body, clawed feet, and outstretched bat-like wings. Four Chinese characters reading 中華帝國 (Empire of China) are arranged in a horizontal legend across the upper field. Below the dragon, a four-character inscription reads 洪憲紀元 (First Year of the Hongxian Era), all within a beaded border. The design is bold and deeply struck, consistent with the medallic proof-style production of this rare pattern issue. |
