| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central device depicts a coiled imperial dragon facing forward with a flaming pearl at centre, rendered in fine relief typical of late Qing provincial coinage. Below the dragon, a stylised mountain motif serves as a distinguishing variety marker. The dragon is encircled by a beaded or plain inner ring, with the English legend surrounding the entire design in the outer margin. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Hupeh was among the first inland provinces to establish a modern steam-powered mint, opened in 1894 under Zhang Zhidong's modernization program. The provincial cash coinages produced there in the early 1900s were partly a fiscal response to the indemnity payments imposed by the Boxer Protocol of 1901 — Beijing's need to fund 450 million taels over 39 years pushed provincial administrations to maximize copper coinage output.
The "mountain" variety designation distinguishes this issue by a specific die characteristic in the central reverse field, catalogued separately from the standard dragon dollar series. Hupeh pieces from this period are frequently encountered with uneven planchet preparation, a known artifact of the mint's high-volume striking runs.
