Reverse description A boldly rendered Imperial Chinese dragon occupies the central field, depicted in high relief coiling dynamically amid stylised clouds and flames, with a flaming pearl at its centre. The dragon faces forward with an open mouth, scaled body, and clawed feet splayed across the field. A beaded inner border separates the central design from the raised Latin legends, with 'FUNG-TIEN PROVINCE' arcing along the upper periphery and 'TEN CASH' inscribed in large letters along the lower periphery. Small decorative rosettes appear at either side flanking the lower legend. The outer rim is finished with a fine milled border.
