| Beschrijving voorzijde | Cast brass cash coin featuring four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu) arranged in cruciform reading order around the central square perforation: 太 (Tai) above, 平 (Ping) below, 通 (Tong) to the right, and 寶 (Bao) to the left, forming the reign legend 太平通寶 (Taiping Tongbao). A small crescent-shaped symbol appears in the upper-right quadrant of the field, between the characters 太 and 通, serving as a mintmark or control mark distinctive to this issue. The characters are rendered in relief with broad, bold strokes typical of Small Sword Society rebel coinage, set within a plain raised inner rim and an outer rim of similar form. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Small Sword Society — a Triad-affiliated secret society with roots in Fujian — seized control of Shanghai's walled Chinese city in September 1853 and held it for seventeen months before Qing and French forces retook it in February 1855. During that occupation they struck their own coinage, adapting the standard Qing cash format with deliberate ideological modifications. The crescent mark on this piece is one of several reverse varieties documented for this issue, likely serving as a die-control or mint-batch marker rather than carrying symbolic weight.
Hartill 23.31 is among the scarcer Small Sword varieties.
