| Additional information |
The Boo-jiyen (户部) mint in Tianjin supplied coinage directly to the Board of Revenue, making it one of the few mints with an explicit fiscal mandate rather than a regional supply role. By the late 1890s, the Qing monetary system was fragmenting badly — provincial mints were striking incompatible cash with inconsistent alloys, and the Board was attempting to impose some standardization from the center. The small circle on this type is a distinguishing feature catalogued by Hartill as a die variety, not a mint error.
