| Beschrijving keerzijde | Plain round field surrounding a central square perforation, with two Manchu script legends positioned to the left and right of the square hole. The characters read ᠪᠣᠣ ᡩᡠᠩ (Boo-dung), the Manchu rendering of the mint name denoting the Board of Revenue Mint in Beijing. The reverse field is otherwise unadorned, consistent with standard Qing dynasty cash coin practice, and is bounded by a plain raised rim. The surface exhibits typical casting marks and patination consistent with circulation use. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Xianfeng reign (1851–1861) coincided with the Taiping Rebellion, the deadliest civil war in human history, which devastated the Qing fiscal apparatus and forced emergency monetary measures across the empire. The Board of Revenue Mint in Beijing — Boo-dung in the Wade-Giles romanization of the Manchu name — was simultaneously producing cash coins in iron, brass, and eventually massive-denomination pieces as the government struggled to fund military campaigns without adequate silver reserves.
The standard 1-cash denomination was effectively the bottom of a denomination ladder that Xianfeng authorities stretched to absurd lengths, issuing nominal values up to 1000 cash. Those inflated pieces collapsed in public confidence within years.
