Obverse description Central field bears four large Chinese ideograms arranged in a cruciform reading order (top to bottom, right to left), surrounded by a circular border of additional Chinese ideograms denoting the issuing authority, denomination, and mint province. Manchu script appears prominently in two cartouches flanking the central characters, identifying the reign era. The overall composition is densely inscribed, with legends occupying the full obverse field in a formal, rectilinear arrangement characteristic of late Qing machine-struck copper cash coinage. No portrait or figural device is present; the design is purely epigraphic.
Obverse script Chinese (traditional, regular script), Manchu
