Reverse description A three-quarter length portrait of the Kangxi Emperor (Aisin-Gioro Xuanye) rendered in high relief dominates the central field, depicting the emperor in full imperial court regalia — an ornate dragon-embroidered robe with a ceremonial beaded court necklace (朝珠). To the left, an architectural rendering of a traditional Chinese palatial complex is shown in perspective, and a crane stands to the lower right, a classical symbol of longevity and good fortune. The Manchu-Chinese name 爱新觉罗·玄烨 arcs along the upper left in Chinese characters, with the reign dates 公元1654-1722年 inscribed to the upper right. The denomination 100元 appears in large characters at the lower left of the field.
