| Additional information |
The Yi Li reverse inscription on this cash identifies it as product of the Hu Bureau — the Ministry of Revenue Mint in Beijing — during a brief window when the Shunzhi court experimented with bilingual coinage policy. Between 1653 and 1657, selected mints added Chinese reign-era denominations to the reverse rather than leaving it blank or using Manchu script, a format abandoned when the court settled on a standardized Manchu-Chinese bilingual type in 1657. The Yi Li designation specifically denotes a one-li valuation within that short-lived system.
