| Reverse description | A sinuous Chinese imperial dragon occupies the central field, depicted in high relief with scaled body coiled among stylized clouds and flames, clutching a flaming pearl. The dragon faces forward with a detailed, expressive visage. The upper legend reads HU-NAN PROVINCE, while the lower legend states 3.6 CANDAREENS, separated by six-pointed star devices at each side. A beaded border encircles the entire reverse design, consistent with the milled coinage of late Qing provincial mints. |
