| Reverse description | Central square perforation divides the field into two halves, each bearing a single corrupted Manchu script character in raised relief, reading vertically in imitation of contemporary Qing dynasty cash coinage. The Manchu legend, likely modeled on the Boo-Gui (Board of Revenue, Guizhou) mint mark of Qing imperial coinage, is rendered in a debased or stylized form reflecting the engraver's imperfect familiarity with the Manchu script. The field is plain and unadorned, with no rim beading or additional decorative elements. The overall design closely follows the format of Qing cash coins but with markedly cruder execution consistent with locally cast tin coinage. |
