| Reverse description | Plain field divided into left and right sections by the central square perforation, each section bearing one Manchu word cast in raised script. The two Manchu syllables 'Boo' (left) and 'Kiyan' (right) together form the Manchu rendering of the mint name 'Boo-kiyan,' identifying the Guizhou mint. Raised inner and outer rims frame the composition. The Manchu script is rendered in the cursive administrative style typical of Qing-era cash coinage. |
