| Obverse description | High-relief cast depiction of Guan Yu in full warrior regalia, shown in a fierce frontal pose gripping his iconic Green Dragon Crescent Blade, with flowing robes and armour rendered in fine detail. A sinuous dragon in high relief coils across the upper right field, surrounded by stylised clouds and wave patterns. The deeply modelled composition fills the entire round field with no legend or exergue. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a coiling dragon in high relief encircling a central roundel bearing the large incuse character 蜀 (Shu Han Kingdom) against a dark recessed field. Surrounding the dragon, a series of stone-tablet-style panels arranged in a wheel pattern carry inscribed Chinese characters referencing place names and titles associated with the Shu Han state, with decorative meander borders framing the composition. |
