| Obverse description | The obverse presents three vertical columns of four Chinese ideograms each, arranged symmetrically in the central field, reading vertically to denote the issuing authority, reign title, regnal year, and mint origin. A stylized dragon in low relief flanks the inscription on each side, rendered in a decorative mechanical style characteristic of Kirin Machinery Mint coinage. A charm or auspicious ornament appears above the central text group. The overall design is tightly composed, with the inscriptions and flanking dragons filling the field without a surrounding border legend. |
