| Reverse description | Central device depicts a coiled five-clawed Imperial dragon in high relief, rendered in the Western engraving style characteristic of Charles Edward Barber's work, facing the viewer with an open mouth and flame-like appendages surrounding its sinuous body. The dragon occupies the full inner field, its scales and features finely detailed against a flat background. The peripheral legend SZECHUEN PROVINCE arcs across the upper field, while 7.2 CANDAREENS appears along the lower arc, separated at each side by a small rosette ornament. The entire design is bounded by a toothed border at the rim. |
