| Reverse description | Central square hole flanked by two Manchu script characters reading 'Boo-je' (ᠪᠣᠣ ᠵᡝ), identifying the Board of Revenue Mint in Beijing as the issuing authority. The Manchu characters are positioned to the left and right of the central perforation, boldly struck in high relief against a smooth, unadorned field. The reverse exhibits the characteristic clean, mechanical precision of a Paris Mint-engraved trial piece, with a well-defined raised square border framing the central hole and a plain milled outer rim. |
