| Reverse description | Central field depicts a sinuous imperial dragon in profile, coiling amid clouds and flames, rendered in fine relief typical of late Qing milled issues. Four large Chinese characters in regular script are positioned at the cardinal points surrounding the dragon, reading 大清銅幣 (Great Qing Copper Currency) from top to bottom, right to left. The design fills the field without an inner ring, with the dragon's head raised and facing right, its five-clawed form conveying imperial authority. The overall composition follows the standardized format adopted for Qing dynasty machine-struck cash coinage in the final years of the empire. |
