The left character reads 'Boo' (ᠪᠣᠣ) and the right reads 'guwang' (ᡤᡠᠸᠠᠩ), together forming the Manchu transliteration of the Guangdong mint name. The characters are rendered in the angular, cursive Manchu style characteristic of Qing dynasty cash coinage, flanked by plain inner and outer rims consistent with the obverse.
