| Beschrijving keerzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kiangnan's provincial mint at Shanghai was among the most technically advanced in late Qing China, having been established with British machinery and European advisors specifically to produce machine-struck coinage that could compete with the flood of foreign silver circulating in the treaty ports. The 1898 issues came during a period of intense monetary fragmentation — each province operating its own standard, its own alloy, its own authority — which Beijing repeatedly tried and failed to rationalize before the dynasty collapsed entirely.
The .820 fineness is notably lower than the nominally equivalent Mexican 8 reales it was partly designed to displace.
