| Reverse description | Central field bears two large Chinese characters '五分' (Wu Fen, meaning 5 Fen), prominently struck within the flan. Flanking the Chinese numerals on either side are Manchu script characters, consistent with the bilingual administrative coinage practice of Qing-dynasty Xinjiang mints. The legends are boldly rendered in a hand-struck style typical of Aksu provincial issues, with characteristic irregularity in flan shape and strike depth. |
