| Reverse description | The reverse displays a trilingual legend arranged around the central square perforation, characteristic of Xinjiang mint issues. A single Chinese numeral 十 (shi, meaning 'ten') appears below the hole, while the character 庫 (ku) is positioned above. To the left, a Manchu word ᡴᡠᠴᠠ and to the right, the Old Uyghur (Chagatai) word كوچا both identify the Kucha mint. The combination of Chinese, Manchu, and Uyghur scripts reflects the multilingual administrative tradition of Qing-era Xinjiang coinage. |
