| Reverse description | A boldly rendered five-clawed Imperial dragon occupies the central field, depicted in sinuous coiled form with head facing forward, surrounded by stylized clouds and flames. A flaming pearl is shown beneath the dragon's chin at centre. The peripheral legend in Latin characters reads 'SHEN-SI PROVINCE' along the upper arc and '7.2 CANDAREENS' along the lower arc, separated at each side by a small ornamental cross device. The design is framed by a continuous reeded border, and the overall engraving style is consistent with late nineteenth-century Chinese provincial pattern issues produced for official approval. |
