| Reversbeschreibung | Cast reverse featuring two bold Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu) flanking the central square hole, read from right to left: 聖 (shèng) to the right and 寶 (bǎo) to the left, together forming the monetary inscription 聖寶 (Sheng Bao, meaning 'Sacred Currency'). The characters are rendered in raised relief and occupy the full height of the field between the inner and outer rims. The upper and lower fields, above and below the square perforation, are plain and undecorated. The surface retains the typical granular texture of cast brass production. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom controlled a substantial stretch of southeastern China for over a decade, administering its own bureaucracy, calendar, and coinage from the captured city of Nanjing — which it renamed Tianjing, the Heavenly Capital. This cash was struck during the final, increasingly desperate years of the rebellion, as Qing forces supported by the Ever Victorious Army under Frederick Townsend Ward, and later Charles Gordon, systematically retook Taiping-held cities. Nanjing itself fell in July 1864, with Hong Xiuquan dead and the movement effectively finished.
Surviving Taiping coinage is uneven in quality and alloy consistency, reflecting disrupted supply chains during the siege years.
