| Reverse description | Two Manchu script characters are cast in relief on either side of the central square hole, reading vertically: 'Boo' (ᠪᠣᠣ) to the left and 'Fu' (ᡶᡠ) to the right, together forming the Manchu rendering of the mint name 'Boo-fu,' corresponding to the Board of Revenue Mint at Fuzhou, Fujian province. The characters are boldly rendered in the flowing Manchu script style typical of Qing dynasty cash coinage, set within a plain field bounded by raised inner and outer rims. No additional ornamental devices are present. |
