Reverse description	Red and black note centred on two large coin vignettes — a Kuang-hsu dragon dollar on the left and a matching dragon coin on the right — separated by an elaborate dragon cartouche bearing the numeral 10. The upper arc carries the English legend in letterpress, and ornate scrollwork corner pieces frame the entire composition. A manuscript signature appears across the lower portion beneath the Chinese text legend.
