| Reverse description | Central square perforation flanked by two mint identification characters in raised relief. To the left of the hole appears the Manchu script syllable ᡬᡳ (gi), rendered vertically in the Manchu alphabet, while to the right appears the single Chinese character 薊 (Ji), identifying the Jizhou Garrison Mint. Both characters are cast in bold relief against a flat field, separated from the outer rim by a plain raised border. The combination of Manchu and Chinese scripts on the reverse is characteristic of the bilingual coinage policy introduced under the Shunzhi Emperor from 1653 onward. |
