1 Cash - Guangxu Tongbao, Boo-je, struck

The Board of Revenue Mint in Beijing was one of the last imperial mints to resist mechanized coin production, continuing to strike cash coins by hand-press methods well into the 1890s while provincial mints were already running steam-powered machinery supplied by Birmingham. The "Boo-je" mint mark identifies the Board of Revenue facility specifically, distinguishing these pieces from the nearly identical output of the Board of Works Mint operating simultaneously across the city.

Hartill 22.1414 is among the more frequently encountered struck cash varieties, produced in quantity across nearly a decade of Guangxu's reign before the format was abandoned entirely in favor of machine-struck cents modeled on Hong Kong coinage.
