Additional information

The paired Manchu-Chinese reverse format was introduced by imperial edict in 1653 as part of a broader standardization effort under the Shunzhi Emperor — the first Qing ruler to impose uniform coinage policy across the empire's sprawling network of provincial and board mints. The Jiang mint designation here identifies production at either the Board of Revenue or Board of Works facilities in Beijing, both of which ran simultaneously under this system. The reform was short-lived; by 1661, the year of Shunzhi's death from smallpox at age twenty-two, the format was already being phased out in favor of the all-Manchu reverse type introduced that same year.
