L&M-444; cf. K-186; KM-Y-65.1; WS-0611. Variety with triangle-eyed dragon with long horns. Despite its status as a cleaned coin, this elegant crown featuring an iconic dragon design displays very little in the way of actual wear or handling. Meanwhile, some provocative rings of iridescent color further draw one's attention to the dragon side, with the characters side remaining a bit more muted in hue.
