Reverse description A finely engraved imperial Chinese dragon occupies the central field, depicted in dynamic coiled posture facing forward with claws extended and a flaming pearl at centre. The dragon is rendered in high relief with detailed scaling, whiskers, and cloud or wave motifs beneath, consistent with the standard late Qing provincial dragon type. The circumferential English legend is divided at top and bottom by small floral or dot ornaments, encircled by a beaded border.
