| Obverse description | Central field features two intricately engraved dragons confronting one another in dynamic, intertwined poses, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend, rendered in Chinese characters and Korean Hangul script, reads along the upper arc and sides, with the romanized denomination '2 NIANG' inscribed in Latin characters along the lower arc. A toothed outer border frames the entire design. The composition reflects the late Joseon dynastic style, combining East Asian imperial dragon motifs with Western-influenced milled coin conventions. |
