Reverse description The reverse displays a bilingual mint identifier flanking the central square perforation. To the left appears the Manchu script character ᡨᡠᠩ (tung), read vertically in the traditional Manchu manner, while to the right stands the single Chinese character 同 (Tong), identifying the Datong Garrison Mint in Shanxi province. Both inscriptions are cast in raised relief against a plain, unornamented field. This bilingual Manchu-Chinese format on the reverse is characteristic of the later Shunzhi-type cash coins issued from provincial garrison mints during the 1660–1661 period.
