The Manchu script character for Aksu (ᠠᡴᠰᡠ) appears to the left of the square hole, while the Old Uyghur (Chagatai) legend ئاقسۇ (Aqsu) is cast to the right, both identifying the Aksu mint. The Chinese character 喀 (Ka, abbreviating Kashgar, the destination authority) appears at the top, and the character 十 (shi, meaning ten) is positioned below, denoting the denomination of 10 cash. The field is flat and unornamented, with a plain raised rim, and the coin exhibits a layered green patina typical of cast copper cash of the Xinjiang region during the Guangxu reign. |
