Reverse description A coiled Chinese imperial dragon rendered in high relief dominates the central field, its sinuous body encircling a flaming pearl at centre. The dragon is depicted facing forward with an open mouth, prominent whiskers, and clawed limbs extending outward amid stylised clouds and flames. The design is enclosed within a plain inner circle, itself surrounded by a continuous beaded border at the outer rim. On certain varieties, rosettes or a central dot appear within the field as distinguishing mint marks.
