Reverse description A bold Imperial Chinese dragon in high relief occupies the central field, depicted in a coiling posture with its scaly body, clawed feet, and flowing whiskers rendered in fine detail; a flaming pearl is absent from the immediate centre but the dragon's fierce visage faces left amid cloud scrolls. The circumferential English legend is arranged in two arcs: 'FEN-TIEN PROVINCE' along the upper periphery and 'TEN CASH' along the lower periphery, separated by small rosette or pellet stops at each side. A toothed or beaded border runs along the outer rim.
