The reverse legend is a Tibetan transcription of the Chinese legend and reads: cha n lung pa'u gtsa ng. Aside from the inscription all the coins of the Qian Long and Dao Guang era and most of the issues of the Jia Qing era bear four design elements on both sides which can be interpreted as "lion's snout", stylised clouds or as lingzhi mushrooms (Ganoderma Lucidum).
