| Reverse description | The reverse displays a sinuous imperial dragon rendered in high relief, its scaled body coiling across the full field in the traditional Vietnamese court style. The dragon's ferocious head faces left with an open jaw, flowing mane, and prominent eyes, while its clawed feet are depicted at lower left and lower right. The body is covered with finely detailed globular scales throughout. No legend or inscription appears on the reverse; the design fills the coin to the plain rim. |
