| Reverse description | Central device depicts a sinuous Chinese imperial dragon in high relief, facing front with head rendered in three-quarter view, clutching a flaming pearl beneath its body amid stylized clouds and flames. The dragon occupies nearly the entire field, its scaled body coiling dynamically. Above the dragon, two Chinese characters read 廣東省 (Kwangtung Province) along the upper arc, while below the dragon the denomination inscription 庫平三分六釐 (Treasury standard 3.65 candareens) is arranged in a horizontal row. The whole design is enclosed within a beaded border consistent with the obverse. |
