| Reverse description | A finely detailed imperial five-clawed Chinese dragon is depicted in high relief at center, coiling dynamically and clutching a flaming pearl beneath its body. The dragon faces forward with an expressive head, prominent horns, and scaled body rendered with intricate detail throughout. The circular outer legend reads KIANG NAN PROVINCE along the upper arc and 1 MACE AND 4.4 CANDAREENS along the lower arc in Latin letters, separated by small six-pointed rosette stops at left and right. An inner beaded or rope border frames the dragon device, with the whole design enclosed by a reeded outer rim. |
