| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a stylized flaming pearl or solar device with radiating flames, rendered in high relief. The four Chinese characters of the imperial reign legend 保大寳鑑 are arranged symmetrically around the central motif — one character in each cardinal quadrant. The coin's periphery is bordered by a continuous beaded rim. |

| Reverse description | A large imperial Vietnamese dragon, depicted in sinuous full-body profile facing right, rendered in high sculptural relief and occupying nearly the entire field. The dragon's scaled body coils dynamically, with clawed feet, a horned and maned head, and a flowing tail extending toward the upper field. Flame-like appendages and cloud scrolls accent the composition, all contained within a plain raised rim consistent with the fantasy coinage tradition. |
