| Reverse description | Central field depicts a coiled five-clawed imperial dragon in high relief, its bearded head facing forward with a flaming pearl visible at centre. The sinuous body is rendered with detailed scale work and flanked by stylised clouds and flames. A dotted inner border separates the dragon device from the peripheral Latin legends: 'HU POO' arching above and 'FIVE CASH' arching below. The outer rim features a continuous reeded or beaded border consistent with the milled coinage of the period. |
