Reverse description A boldly rendered Chinese imperial five-clawed dragon occupies the entire field, depicted in dynamic coiling posture with head facing forward and claws extended, surrounded by stylized cloud formations. A flaming pearl is positioned at the centre before the dragon's open jaws. The dragon's sinuous body, detailed scales, and swirling tail fill the field, with no encircling border legend, consistent with the 'uncircled dragon' type. The entire design is contained within a beaded border.
