| Obverse description | Central raised disc bears a single incuse character at its centre, surrounded by four Chinese ideograms arranged to be read top to bottom and right to left. A Manchu inscription occupies the upper field, while additional Chinese characters form a circular legend around the periphery. The design identifies the issuing authority as the Board of Revenue (Hu Poo), the regnal era of the Guangxu Emperor, the cyclical year Bingwu (1906), and the denomination as one mace of Great Qing silver currency. The overall layout is formal and administrative in character, consistent with late Qing imperial pattern coinage. |
