| Reverse description | A sinuous Chinese imperial dragon with detailed scale work occupies the central field, depicted facing forward with its body coiling around a flaming pearl at centre. The dragon's head is shown frontally with prominent horns, whiskers, and an open mouth. Two rosette ornaments, each composed of multiple small circles, are positioned symmetrically in the left and right fields flanking the dragon. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, itself surrounded by a plain outer border with a reeded rim. The number and arrangement of circles beneath the pearl and around the central rosette dot serve as the primary variety-distinguishing features across the Y#257 series. |
