| Reverse description | A sinuous five-clawed imperial dragon rendered in high relief occupies the central field, its body coiling dynamically around a flaming pearl at centre, with stylised clouds and flames filling the surrounding space. The dragon's head faces left with open jaws, and its scaled body and taloned claws are rendered in fine detail characteristic of late Qing provincial machine-struck coinage. An inner beaded border separates the dragon motif from the outer English-language legend. The circumferential legend reads KWANG-TUNG at top and TEN CASH at bottom, in bold raised Latin capitals. |
