| Additional information |
The Jiaqing reign (1796–1820) inherited a mint system already strained by the White Lotus Rebellion, which broke out within months of the emperor's accession and drained treasury resources for nearly a decade. The Board of Revenue Mint in Beijing — one of the two central imperial mints, designated "Boo-jyi" — maintained output through the period, but quality control across provincial mints deteriorated markedly as silver and copper allocations were redirected toward military expenditure.
Hartill 22.555 is among the more frequently encountered Jiaqing cash types, the Beijing central mints having operated with greater consistency than their provincial counterparts during this reign.
