Reverse description A finely detailed five-clawed imperial dragon is depicted in high relief at the centre of the field, shown in profile facing right amid stylised clouds and flames, with a flaming pearl visible before it. The legend FUNG-TIEN PROVINCE arcs along the upper periphery in Latin characters, while TEN CASH appears in a straight line along the lower portion of the field. Two small rosette or star ornaments flank the lower legend as decorative separators. The entire design is enclosed within a toothed or beaded outer border, characteristic of late Qing pattern coinage produced for the Fengtien Mint.
