| Reverse description | Central square perforation framed by a raised square border divides the reverse field into left and right registers, each bearing one Manchu script word read vertically. Together the two Manchu words ᠪᠣᠣ ᠶᡠᠸᠠᠨ (Boo Yuwan) identify the issuing mint as the Board of Works (Ministry of Public Works) in Beijing. The characters are rendered in raised relief against a flat field, with a wide, plain rim encircling the coin. No additional ornaments or symbols appear in the field. |
