| Reverse description | Two confronted dragons rendered in high relief, symmetrically flanking the central square hole, their sinuous bodies intertwined with stylized cloud and flame motifs. The dragons face one another across the perforation, with detailed scaled bodies, clawed feet, and foliated tails curling toward the coin's rim. Auspicious cloud scrolls fill the lower and upper fields. The overall composition is characteristic of imperial Nguyễn dynasty iconography, executed with exceptional casting quality typical of the Huế imperial mint's higher-denomination silver issues. |
