Reverse description A sinuous imperial dragon in high relief occupies virtually the entire reverse field, depicted in profile facing left with a scaled body coiling dynamically across the surface. The dragon displays detailed scaled body, flowing mane, prominent claws, and flame-like appendages emanating from its form, rendered in the traditional Vietnamese court artistic style. The design fills the field to the beaded border, with no legend or inscription present. Suspension holes are pierced at the top and bottom, consistent with the obverse, confirming the piece's use as a medallion or ceremonial ornament.
