| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse features four large Chinese characters in traditional regular script (kaishu), arranged symmetrically around a central circular perforation. Reading top to bottom and right to left, the characters 大 (top), 銅 (right), 清 (bottom), and 幣 (left) collectively form the inscription meaning 'Great Qing copper currency.' The characters are boldly rendered in raised relief against a plain field, with the central hole bordered by a raised ring. The entire design is enclosed within a plain raised rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Xuantong — the reign name of Puyi, who ascended the throne at age two in late 1908 — lends his era name to one of the shortest-lived imperial coinage series in Chinese history. The Qing dynasty collapsed in 1912, meaning the entire Xuantong coinage spanned barely three years of production. Machine-struck cash pieces like this one were part of a broader late-Qing effort to rationalize and modernize the currency system, one that the dynasty did not survive long enough to complete.
