| Obverse lettering | 乾 寶 通 隆 (Translation: Qian Long Tong Bao Qianlong (Emperor) / Universal currency) |
| Reverse description | Cast reverse centered on a raised square perforation frame flanked by two Manchu script characters disposed vertically on either side of the central hole. The Manchu character ᠪᠣᠣ (Boo) appears to the right of the hole and ᠰᠠᠨ (San) to the left, together reading 'Boo-san' and identifying the Shanxi provincial mint. The raised characters stand against a flat recessed field, framed by a wide, plain outer rim consistent with the obverse. Workmanship varies across the known die varieties, ranging from bold, well-formed Manchu characters on early issues to more roughly executed forms on later provincial output. |
