| Additional information |
The Manchu-and-Chinese reverse type was introduced in 1657 as part of a broader standardization effort under the Shunzhi Emperor, replacing the earlier single-script reverses that had created confusion across the empire's disparate minting network. The Xuan furnace designation identifies this piece as struck at either the Board of Revenue or Board of Works mint in Beijing — both operated parallel furnaces distinguished by these internal workshop codes.
Production of this specific type was short-lived, discontinued by 1661 when the reverse formula was again revised to carry only the mint name in Manchu.
