| Obverse description | Three vertical columns of four Chinese ideograms each occupy the central field, flanked on either side by a stylized dragon in relief. A decorative charm or auspicious motif appears above the inscription columns. The overall composition is symmetrical, with the dragons serving as heraldic supporters to the central legend. The design reflects the machine-struck coinage aesthetic introduced at the Kirin Machinery Mint during the Guangxu reign. |

| Reverse description | The central field bears four Chinese ideograms arranged in a square reading pattern, denoting the denomination of seven mace. A single Manchu word appears at each lateral side of the central inscription, providing the bilingual denomination statement characteristic of Qing dynasty official coinage. Stylized outlined cloud motifs occupy each of the four corners, lending the design an ornamental framework consistent with imperial Chinese numismatic convention. The overall layout is balanced and formal, reflecting both Chinese and Manchu administrative traditions of the Kirin province issues. |
