| Reverse description | Round cast brass cash coin with a central square perforation, displaying two large Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu) arranged to the left and right of the square hole, reading 後营 (Hòu Yíng), meaning 'Rear Camp' or 'Rear Garrison.' The characters are boldly and deeply cast within the flat field, which shows natural age patination with green cuprite oxidation typical of brass cash coinage. The plain raised rim encircles the design. This mint designation identifies the issuing military camp of the Guangdong Triad Society during the Red Turban Rebellion of 1857–1858. |
