| Reverse description | Cast reverse featuring two Manchu script characters flanking the central square hole, one character positioned to the left and one to the right, reading vertically. The inscription reads ᠪᠣᠣ ᡠ (Boo-u), the Manchu rendering of the mint name for the Board of Revenue (Hubu) Mint in Beijing. The characters are rendered in raised relief within a plain field, enclosed by a raised outer rim. The overall design is simple and utilitarian, consistent with standard Qing dynasty cash coin production. |
