| Reverse description | Plain round field centered on a square perforation, with two Manchu (Qing script) characters arranged horizontally flanking the central square hole, reading 'Boo-chuwan' (寶泉), identifying this coin as the product of the Board of Revenue Mint in Beijing. The characters are cast in moderate relief and exhibit the characteristic cursive strokes of Manchu script. The field is otherwise unadorned, and the coin is covered with a mottled green and brown patina consistent with prolonged circulation and burial. |
