| Reverse description | A sinuous imperial dragon, depicted in high relief, dominates the entire reverse field, coiling dynamically and facing left with its head raised toward the upper portion of the coin. The dragon's scales, claws, and whiskers are rendered with considerable fine detail, consistent with Vietnamese Nguyễn dynasty artistic tradition. The creature's body fills the available field with powerful, sweeping curves. A small suspension hole is visible near the lower edge of the coin. The field is otherwise plain, with no additional legends or border ornamentation. |
