| Reverse description | A finely detailed imperial Chinese dragon is depicted in high relief at the centre of the field, its sinuous body coiling around a flaming pearl at the bottom. The dragon faces forward with an imposing frontal visage, its scales, claws, and whiskers rendered with characteristic late Qing artistic precision. A beaded inner border separates the central dragon device from the peripheral English legend. The legend, arranged along the upper and lower rim, reads 'SZECHUEN PROVINCE' above and '3.6 CANDAREENS' below, indicating the denomination in English for Western commercial use. |
