| Reverse description | At centre, a sinuous five-clawed imperial dragon is depicted in high relief, coiling dynamically around a flaming pearl, its scaled body rendered with fine detail characteristic of late Qing dragon coinage. The dragon faces left with an open mouth and prominent horns, surrounded by stylised flames and clouds. The peripheral legend is inscribed in Latin letters along the upper arc reading 'SUNGAREI', and the denomination '2 MACE' appears along the lower arc, separated by small rosette or star stops. The entire design is contained within a beaded border. |
