| Obverse description | Central field bears four large Chinese ideograms arranged vertically to be read top to bottom and right to left, flanked by Manchu script characters at centre. A surrounding inner legend of Chinese ideograms encircles the entire composition, conveying the mint of issue, the reign title of Emperor Guangxu, and the denomination. The design is entirely typographic in character, with no figural imagery, relying on the formal arrangement of imperial inscriptions in both Chinese and Manchu scripts. |

| Reverse description | A coiled imperial dragon rendered in high relief occupies the central field, its sinuous body scaled in fine detail, grasping a flaming pearl amid stylized clouds and flame motifs. The dragon faces forward with an open mouth and prominent horns, its tail curling to the lower left. The surrounding legend is divided between the upper arc, reading the province name, and the lower arc, reading the denomination in English. Two small six-pointed rosettes flank the lower legend at the three and nine o'clock positions. The design is contained within a continuous inner beaded border. |
