| Reverse description | A finely detailed imperial Chinese dragon occupies the central field, depicted in high relief with scales, claws, and flowing whiskers, coiling dynamically around a flaming pearl at the centre. The dragon faces forward with an imposing, characteristically fierce expression typical of late Qing provincial coinage. A circular English-language legend surrounds the dragon along the rim, reading 'HEI LUNG KIANG PROVINCE' at the top and '3 MACE AND 6 CANDAREENS' at the bottom, separated by small rosette or asterisk stops. The overall design follows the standard format adopted for Guangxu-era provincial pattern coinage produced in imitation of Western minting conventions. |
