| Reverse description | Two Manchu script words are cast in raised relief on either side of the central square hole, read vertically: the mint name ᠪᠣᠣ (Boo) to the right of the hole and ᠴᡳᠣᠸᠠᠨ (Chiowan) to the left, together forming 'Boo-chiowan,' the Manchu rendering of the Board of Revenue Mint in Beijing. The Manchu characters display the characteristic cursive, flowing strokes of the script, and their precise form varies across the numerous identified sub-types catalogued by Hartill. The field is otherwise plain, bounded by a raised inner square surrounding the hole and a plain outer rim. |
