| Reverse description | The reverse field displays a boldly cast sinuous imperial five-clawed dragon rendered in high relief, depicted ascending amid stylized clouds and flames, with its body coiling dynamically across the entire field. The dragon, a symbol of imperial authority in Vietnamese Nguyễn dynastic coinage, is shown in profile with detailed scaled body, flowing whiskers, and flared tail. At the lower portion of the field, the Chinese characters 三錢 (three tien) appear, indicating the denomination. A uniformly struck beaded border of raised pellets encircles the design. |
