Reverse description A coiled five-clawed imperial dragon rendered in high relief occupies the central field, its body curling sinuously amid stylised cloud and wave motifs, with a flaming pearl depicted beneath its chest. The dragon's head faces forward with an alert, fearsome expression, its mane and whiskers finely detailed. The central device is enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding exergual and peripheral legend in Latin script reads 'FOO-KIEN CUSTOM 10 CASH', separated by small six-pointed star ornaments at either side. The coin rim is defined by a continuous beaded border.
