| Reverse description | Plain cast reverse featuring a central square hole flanked by a single Chinese character 戶 (Hù) positioned to the right of the hole, identifying the issuing mint as the Ministry of Revenue (戶部局) in Beijing. The field is broad and largely empty, with a well-defined raised inner rim surrounding the square perforation and a plain outer rim. The sparse design is typical of early Shunzhi-period cash issues bearing a single Chinese mint identifier rather than the later Manchu-script reverses. |
