| Reverse description | A sinuous five-clawed Imperial dragon in high relief occupies the central field, facing forward with a flaming pearl at its breast. The dragon's body is rendered with detailed scales, flowing whiskers, and outstretched claws in the classical late Qing style. A beaded inner border separates the central device from the peripheral Latin legend. Two small five-pointed stars flank the lower legend as separators. The outer legend reads 'TWENTY SECOND YEAR OF KUANG HSU PEI YANG ARSENAL', denoting the reign year and issuing mint authority. |
