| Obverse description | Central field features a floral rosette flanked on left and right by Manchu script characters. Four large Chinese ideograms are arranged in a cruciform pattern reading top to bottom and right to left around the central rosette. A horizontal legend in Chinese characters spans the upper portion of the coin, with an additional inscription below, together identifying the issuing province, the reign period of Emperor Guangxu, and the denomination. The overall layout follows the classical format of late Qing provincial machine-struck coinage. |

| Reverse description | A coiled imperial dragon occupies the central field, depicted in profile with scales rendered in fine detail and a flaming pearl positioned above its head. Beneath the dragon, a stylised mountain motif appears in the lower field. The dragon and pearl are unencircled, distinguishing this type from related issues. An outer legend in Latin script encircles the design, identifying the issuing province and denomination. |
