(Translation: gangsui ning Guangxu`s)
Reverse description Entire field filled with a multi-line Arabic-script legend in bold, cursive Nasta'liq calligraphy, reading 'Törtönji Yili' (Fourth Year), denoting the fourth regnal year of the Guangxu Emperor. The inscription is arranged in two or three lines across the irregularly shaped flan, with small pellet ornaments serving as dividers between word groups. No border, decorative frame, or additional devices are present. The hand-hammered technique produces characteristically uneven flan edges and variable relief consistent with Sinkiang provincial Islamic coinage of this period.
