| Reverse description | The reverse features figural devices in relief around the central square hole: a robed human figure (likely a deity or immortal) to the right, a crouching or prowling feline animal at the lower field, and a serpentine dragon form to the upper left. These auspicious motifs are characteristic of Chinese charm coins (yadqian), intended to convey spiritual protection. |
