Reverse description The reverse features a coiled imperial dragon rendered in high relief at center, depicted in the classic Qing dynasty style with scales, clawed feet, and a flame-crested head facing forward. The dragon clutches a flaming pearl beneath its body, surrounded by five-pointed stars or flame motifs in the field. The Latin legend 'HU POO' arcs across the upper periphery, and 'TEN CASH' arcs along the lower periphery, both separated from the central dragon motif by the toothed border rim. A small asterisk or rosette ornament appears to the right of the legend, and the entire design is contained within a plain toothed milled border.
