| Obverse description | Central field features four large Chinese ideograms arranged in a cruciform reading pattern, flanked by Manchu script characters at centre. The arrangement is framed within a double ring, with additional Chinese ideograms forming a circular legend around the periphery denoting the reign title Guangxu, the denomination, and the issuing province. The overall composition is characteristic of late Qing dynasty provincial coinage, with the cyclical date characters integrated into the legend. |

| 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. |
