Beschrijving keerzijde Plain cast reverse displaying two Manchu script characters in raised relief, one on each side of the central square hole, reading vertically. The Manchu legend ᠪᠣᠣ ᡷᡳ (Boo-jyi) identifies the mint as the Board of Revenue (Hubu) in Beijing. The characters are rendered in a somewhat cursive Manchu style typical of late Qing cash coinage, set within a plain, unadorned field bounded by a raised outer rim.

Aanvullende informatie

The Board of Revenue Mint in Beijing — known in Manchu administrative terminology as the "Boo-jyi" mint — was one of two imperial mints operating in the capital during the Guangxu reign, the other being the Board of Works. Both mints cast cash coins using methods essentially unchanged since the Han dynasty, even as machine-struck coinage was being introduced at provincial mints across China from the late 1880s onward. This piece belongs to that transitional window, cast rather than struck, while the Qing monetary system was fragmenting under pressure from foreign trade imbalances and the costs of successive military defeats.
