| Reverse description | Central square perforation flanked on either side by Manchu script characters reading ᠪᠣᠣ ᡤᡠᠸᠠᠩ (Boo-guwang), identifying the Guangdong Mint as the issuing authority. The Manchu legends are positioned horizontally, one character group to the left and one to the right of the square hole, in accordance with standard Qing dynasty reverse layout for provincial cash coinage. The strokes are broad and deeply cast, standing in moderate relief against a flat, unadorned field. A raised inner rim frames the square perforation and a raised outer rim borders the coin's circumference. No additional ornaments, privy marks, or auxiliary inscriptions are present. |
