| Reverse description | Central device depicts a sinuous Chinese imperial dragon in high relief, coiling around a flaming pearl at centre, rendered with fine scale and cloud detailing in the surrounding field. The dragon faces forward with an elaborate antlered head and outstretched claws, its body curving dynamically through stylised cloud motifs. A circular English-language legend surrounds the central design, reading 'TWENTY SECOND YEAR OF KWANG HSU PEI YANG ARSENAL', separated at the base by two five-pointed stars. The overall composition is typical of late Qing provincial coinage struck at the Pei Yang Arsenal. |
