| Reverse description | Four Chinese characters arranged in a central cartouche denote the denomination and standard, flanked on either side by a Manchu word. Ornamental outlined cloud motifs occupy each corner of the field, lending the design a formal, official character consistent with Qing dynasty minting conventions. The bilingual legend reflects the dual Chinese-Manchu administrative identity of the Kirin Provincial Mint. |
