Reverse description A coiling five-clawed imperial dragon occupies the central field, depicted in high relief with its head facing forward and a flaming pearl beneath its chin. The dragon's sinuous body winds across the field, with scaled texture and flame-like appendages rendered in fine detail. Two rosette ornaments flank the dragon at the mid-field, serving as dividers. The circular Latin legend surrounding the design reads 'AN-HWEI PROVINCE' along the upper arc and '3.6 CANDAREENS' along the lower arc, separated by the rosettes. A beaded border frames the entire design along the rim.
