| Reverse description | A sinuous five-clawed imperial dragon rendered in high relief dominates the central field, its scaled body coiling dynamically with head facing forward and claws outstretched. Flame-like appendages and cloud scrolls surround the dragon, conveying celestial power in the traditional Qing dynastic style. Two rosette ornaments flank the dragon at the left and right margins. The circumferential Latin legend reads AN-HWEI PROVINCE at the top arc and CANDAREENS at the bottom arc, with the denomination numeral 7.2 at the lower left. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border. |
