| Obverse description | Four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu) are arranged in cruciform fashion around a central square hole, read top-to-bottom and right-to-left: 乾 (top), 通 (right), 隆 (bottom), 寶 (left). The characters are boldly cast in relief within a plain raised rim, their strokes exhibiting the characteristic weight and clarity of Qing dynasty imperial coinage. The flat field between the characters and the rim is unadorned. The square perforation is neatly defined with straight inner edges. |

| Reverse description | Two Manchu script characters are cast in relief on either side of the central square hole, read vertically from top to bottom: 'Boo' (ᠪᠣᠣ) to the right and 'je' (ᠵᡝ) to the left, together reading 'Boo-je', denoting the Jizhou (Ji) mint. The characters are rendered in the cursive Manchu script style typical of Qing cash coinage, set within a plain raised rim. The field is otherwise unadorned, with the square central perforation cleanly defined. |
