| Reverse description | A large five-clawed imperial dragon, finely scaled and rendered in high relief, occupies the central field, its body coiled and facing forward with a flaming pearl at centre. Flames and cloud scrolls surround the creature, consistent with the standard Qing provincial dragon type. The peripheral legend in Latin script reads 'HU-PEH PROVINCE' along the upper arc and '1 MACE AND 4.4 CANDAREENS' along the lower arc, with small five-pointed stars serving as dividers on either side. A continuous inner border of raised beads frames the central device, with a plain raised rim at the outer edge. |
