| Additional information |
The Guizhou Board of Revenue Mint — known as Boo-gui in Manchu romanization — was among the more troubled provincial operations of the Qing cash system. Guizhou was chronically short of copper and relied heavily on brass alloys, which accounts for the noticeably yellow tone that distinguishes survivors from contemporary northern issues. The Jiaqing reign itself opened under the shadow of the White Lotus Rebellion, a millenarian uprising that drained imperial finances from 1796 onward and disrupted metal supply chains across the southwest for years.
