| Reverse description | A finely detailed Chinese imperial dragon, depicted in sinuous coiled form facing forward, occupies the central field, clutching a flaming pearl beneath its body. The dragon's scales, claws, and whiskers are rendered in high relief with characteristic late Qing artistic style. The surrounding circular legend reads "KIANG NAN PROVINCE" along the upper arc and "3 MACE AND 6 CANDAREENS" along the lower arc, separated by ornamental rosette stops at each side. The entire design is bordered by a beaded inner ring and a reeded outer rim. |
