| Obverse description | Central field bears four large Chinese ideograms arranged in a cruciform pattern reading top-to-bottom and right-to-left, flanked by Manchu script characters at centre. The inscription identifies the issuing authority as the Three Eastern Provinces and the regnal era of the Guangxu Emperor, with the denomination expressed as three mace and six candareens. A surrounding border of additional Chinese ideograms encircles the central device, the whole contained within a beaded rim. |

| Reverse description | A finely detailed imperial Chinese dragon occupies the central field, depicted in high relief with outstretched claws, scaled body coiling sinuously, and a flaming pearl at its breast. The dragon's head faces forward with prominent horns and flowing whiskers rendered in the classic Qing dynastic style. The Latin legend '33RD YEAR OF KUANG HSU' arcs along the upper periphery, while 'MANCHURIAN PROVINCES' curves along the lower periphery, both separated by raised dot stops. The entire design is enclosed within a toothed or beaded border following the coin's milled edge. |
