Reverse description The reverse bears a bilingual inscription combining Tibetan script and Manchu script. Tibetan characters are positioned above and below the central field, while Manchu characters — read vertically — flank the design to the left and right. Additional peripheral characters around the border further indicate the regnal year. The combined inscription translates to an honorific reference to the sixth year of the Jiaqing reign, identifying the piece as a silver currency issued under imperial authority. The layout reflects the dual-script convention characteristic of Sino-Tibetan coinage of the Qing period.
