| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays a multilingual mint and denomination legend arranged around the central square hole in four positions. A single Chinese character 咯 (Ka, abbreviating Kashgar/Kashi) appears above the hole and 十 (Shi, meaning 'ten') below, indicating the denomination of ten cash. To the left, the Manchu script reads ᠠᡴᠰᡠ (Aksu), and to the right, the Old Uyghur (Chagatai Arabic) script reads اقسو (Aqsu), both identifying the Aksu mint. This trilingual arrangement — Chinese, Manchu, and Old Uyghur — is characteristic of Qing dynasty coinage issued in Xinjiang for circulation in the Kashgar region. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
By the time this cash was struck at Aksu in the 1880s, the entire monetary rationale for the issue had shifted dramatically. Xinjiang had been reconquered from Yaqub Beg's Kokandi regime only in 1877–78 under Zuo Zongtang, and the Qing restoration of the region required re-establishing functional coinage quickly. Aksu produced pieces nominally for Kashgar circulation during this period precisely because Kashgar's own mint infrastructure had been devastated and was slow to recover.
The posthumous use of the Qianlong reign title — dead since 1799 — reflects a deliberate administrative conservatism in Xinjiang cash coinage, not clerical error.
