| Reverse description | A sinuous five-clawed imperial dragon, rendered in high relief in the Chinese court tradition, occupies the central field, its body coiling amid stylized clouds. Four Chinese characters arranged at the cardinal points around the dragon read 大清銅幣 ('Great Qing copper currency') in traditional script, with the text read top to bottom and right to left. The overall composition follows the standard Qing dynasty copper coin reverse format as employed on the unified coinage proposals of the late imperial period. |
