1 Cash - Shunzhi Tongbao, Chinese reverse, Ji

The "Chinese reverse" series of Shunzhi cash was the second of five successive reverse inscription types ordered during the young Fulin emperor's reign, introduced as the Qing administration worked to consolidate control over a bureaucratic minting system inherited — and largely wrecked — from the late Ming. The Ji mint designation identifies coins struck at Jizhou, one of the provincial facilities brought back into production during this standardization push. Both the Board of Revenue and Board of Works mints in Beijing struck identical types simultaneously, a dual-authority arrangement that makes firm attribution to a single facility essentially impossible without additional die study.
