| Beschrijving keerzijde | A boldly rendered five-clawed imperial dragon occupies the central field, depicted facing forward in a sinuous coiling posture with a flaming pearl at its chest. The dragon's scales, whiskers, and horns are rendered in fine detail characteristic of late Qing imperial pattern coinage. Two ornamental cloud scrolls flank the dragon at the upper left and right, while stylized waves appear at the base of the design. The encircling Latin legend reads '29TH YEAR OF KUANG HSÜ' at the upper periphery and 'HU POO' at the lower periphery, separated by two small pellets. A fine beaded border runs along the inner edge of the reeded rim. |

The Hu Poo Mint in Beijing produced this pattern as part of a broader push by the Qing central government to assert control over silver coinage, which had been dominated for decades by the provincial mints — particularly Guangdong. The Board of Revenue had long resented that monetary authority effectively resided in the provinces, and the 1903 pattern series was a direct attempt to establish a centrally-issued standard.
The effort failed. Provincial minting interests proved too entrenched, and no central mint coinage entered mass circulation under Guangxu. L&M#2 is among the rarest listings in the Long & Mariacher reference.
