Additional information

Boo-fu denotes the Board of Revenue's Fengyang branch mint, one of the more obscure provincial mints active during the Xianfeng period (1851–1861). The original Xianfeng coinage is notable for its extraordinary denomination range — the dynasty issued cash coins in values up to 1000 cash in a desperate attempt to fund suppression of the Taiping Rebellion. This replica reproduces the base 1-cash denomination, the workhorse of that collapsing system.
