| Beschrijving voorzijde | Four Chinese characters in standard regular script (kaishu) are arranged in cruciform fashion around the central square hole, read in the traditional order: top, bottom, right, left. The legend reads 乾隆通寶 (Qián Lóng Tōng Bǎo), meaning 'Qianlong [reign] Circulating Treasure.' The characters are boldly cast in raised relief within a plain inner and outer rim, occupying the four quadrants of the coin field. The overall design is characteristic of Qing dynasty cash coinage, with deliberate calligraphic proportions that vary subtly by branch mint and issue period. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Board of Revenue Mint in Beijing — Baoquan, romanized here as "Boo-chiowan" under the Wade-Giles system — was one of two metropolitan mints operating directly under central imperial authority, the other being the Board of Works. During Qianlong's reign, output from Baoquan was enormous; the emperor ruled for sixty years and briefly as Taishang Huang, making his cash coins the single most produced imperial coinage in Chinese history by sheer duration. The mint cycled through multiple supervisors and periodic reforms to alloy standards, which accounts for the Hartill range spanning over forty catalogue numbers for this type alone.
