| Reverse description | A finely rendered imperial Chinese dragon in high relief occupies the central field, its sinuous body coiling around a flaming pearl at centre, with flames and clouds rendered in the surrounding field. The dragon's head faces forward in frontal aspect. Chinese ideograms arranged in two arcs along the upper and lower periphery identify the issuing province and the coin's weight value in candareens, all contained within a toothed outer border. |
