| Additional information |
The Ministry of Revenue Mint in Beijing — known in Manchu administrative records as the Boo-chiowan — was one of two imperially controlled mints operating in the capital during the Guangxu reign, the other being the Board of Works facility. Both resumed cast-cash production under Guangxu following the chaotic final years of the Tongzhi period. The "type A" designation in Hartill distinguishes this issue by its specific reverse boo-chiowan inscription arrangement, a detail that matters considerably for attribution given how many variant dies circulated from this mint across a short production window.
