| Obverse description | Central square hole (cash hole) flanked by four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu), arranged in cruciform fashion and read top-to-bottom then right-to-left: 咸 (top), 通 (right), 寶 (bottom), 豐 (left), forming the reign legend 'Xianfeng Tongbao'. The characters are rendered in a plain, unadorned style typical of Qing dynasty cast cash coinage, set within a flat inner rim surrounding the square perforation and bounded by a raised outer rim. |

| Reverse description | Central square hole flanked by two Manchu script characters reading vertically, divided by the perforation: 'Boo' to the left and 'Chuwan' to the right, identifying the Board of Revenue Mint at Chengdu (Sichuan). A distinctive raised dot appears above the square hole, serving as the variety marker referenced in Hartill. The reverse field is otherwise plain, bounded by raised inner and outer rims consistent with standard Qing cast cash types. |
