Obverse description Central field bears three horizontal lines of Chinese characters in traditional regular script (kaishu). The uppermost legend reads 中華民國十五年 (15th Year of the Republic of China), the central character 川 denotes Sichuan Province, and the lower legend reads 每枚當貳百文 (Each coin equivalent to 200 wen). The design is unadorned, with all inscriptions arranged vertically within the plain round flan, consistent with the simplified style typical of contemporary imitations of official provincial cash issues.

Reverse description Central field displays the large numeral '200' in bold raised characters, surrounded by a wreath of leafy branches and floral buds tied at the base, the sprays curving symmetrically upward to meet at the top of the coin. The wreath is rendered in a somewhat crude, heavily stylised manner consistent with a contemporary counterfeit die, with individual leaves and buds clearly delineated against the flat field.
