| Reverse description | Central square hole surrounded by four inscriptions in three different scripts, following the standard Xinjiang cash format. A single Chinese character 庫 (Kù, meaning 'Kucha') appears above the hole and 十 (Shí, meaning '10') below. To the left is the Manchu transcription ᡴᡠᠴᠠ (Kucha) and to the right the Uyghur transcription كوچا (Kucha), together identifying both the mint and the denomination. The quadrilingual layout is characteristic of Qing-period coinage struck in the Xinjiang region under the Guangxu Emperor. |
