| Reverse description | The reverse displays two Manchu script characters divided by the central square perforation, reading vertically: 'Boo' (ᠪᠣᠣ) to the right and 'Chang' (ᠴᠠᠩ) to the left, identifying the Board of Revenue mint at Chang'an (Xi'an, Shaanxi province). The characters are cast in low to moderate relief within a plain field, bounded by an inner square rim and an outer raised border. The surface exhibits heavy patination and mineral encrustation throughout, obscuring fine details of the script. |
