| Reverse description | The reverse displays a finely detailed coiled imperial dragon rendered in high relief, occupying virtually the entire field. The five-clawed dragon, emblematic of Vietnamese imperial authority under the Nguyễn dynasty, is depicted in a dynamic curling posture with its horned head facing left, scales and whiskers carefully delineated. Flames and cloud scrolls surround the creature, filling the field around the sinuous body and tail. A small rectangular cartouche bearing two Chinese characters appears at the lower left of the field. No beaded border is present on this face, allowing the dragon motif to extend close to the rim. |
