| Reverse description | Plain cast iron field divided by the central square perforation, with two Manchu script characters disposed vertically on either side of the hole in relief. The right column reads 'Boo' (ᠪᠣᠣ) and the left column reads 'He' (ᡥᠣ᠋), together forming 'Boo-he,' the Manchu name for the Honan (Henan) mint. Raised inner and outer rims frame the field, consistent with standard Qing cash reverse layouts. The surface shows typical iron casting texture with heavy oxidation and corrosion consistent with the iron alloy composition. |
