Reverse description A stylised dragon with an open mouth and prominent claws is depicted at centre, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The dragon is surrounded by a decorative wreath of floral and foliate motifs, including blossoms and oak-like leaves, distributed symmetrically across the field. A ribbon or bowknot device appears at the base of the design. The overall style reflects the provincial Kashgar mint's characteristically folk-influenced rendering of the imperial dragon type.
