| Reverse description | Central device features a finely detailed coiled Imperial Chinese dragon in high relief, facing left with head turned toward the viewer and a flaming pearl beneath its claws, surrounded by stylized clouds and flame motifs. Chinese characters are arranged around the periphery: 廣東省造 (Made in Kwangtung Province) reading from right to left along the upper arc, with 庫平三錢六分 (Worth 3 Mace and 6 Candareens, treasury standard weight) along the lower arc. Two small six-pointed rosette separators flank the lower legend. An inner beaded border separates the central dragon design from the surrounding inscriptions, with an outer beaded rim completing the design. |
