| Additional information |
The dual-script reverse placing both Chinese and Manchu mint identifiers on a single cash coin was a deliberate administrative policy of the early Shunzhi reign — an assertion of Manchu institutional authority over a monetary system inherited from the Ming. The Ning mint, operating under both the Board of Revenue and Board of Works jurisdictions simultaneously, produced this type for a narrow window before the format was again revised in 1661.
That short production window accounts for the relative scarcity of Ning-mint examples within the broader Manchu-reverse series.
