| Beschrijving keerzijde | A sinuous Imperial Chinese dragon coils dynamically around a flaming pearl at the centre of the field, rendered in high relief with detailed scales and cloud scrolls. The dragon faces left with its head prominently displayed at upper right. A beaded inner border separates the central dragon motif from the peripheral English legend. The inscription 'KIANG-SOO' arcs across the upper portion and 'TEN CASH' across the lower portion of the coin, flanked by decorative rosette stops at either side. The overall design follows the standard late Qing provincial machine-struck copper cash format introduced under the Guangxu reign. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kiangsu was among the first provinces authorized to operate a modern steam-powered mint, and the cash coins it produced in the early 1900s reflect the administrative chaos of that transition — multiple die varieties were produced in rapid succession as provincial officials adjusted legends, spacing, and the central Manchu inscription to satisfy directives from Beijing. The Y#162 series alone branches into at least a dozen catalogued varieties, several differing only in the arrangement of characters around the central field.
The 1902–1903 window corresponds to the post-Boxer Indemnity period, when Qing fiscal demands on provinces were acute and copper coinage output was deliberately accelerated to offset silver shortages.
