| Obverse description | Central rectangular cartouche bearing four large Chinese characters arranged in a square format, with additional characters below denoting the mint and reign year. Two sinuous dragons flank the cartouche on either side, their scaled bodies curving dynamically through the field. A stylized shou (longevity) medallion surmounts the cartouche at the top center. The entire design is encircled by a beaded border of uniform pellets, with the dragons' tails meeting at the base beneath the cartouche. The overall composition reflects the bold, graphic style characteristic of Qing dynasty provincial bullion coinage. |
