| Beschrijving voorzijde | Four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu) are arranged in cruciform reading order around a central square perforation: 光 (Guang) above, 緒 (Xu) below, 重 (Zhong) to the right, and 寶 (Bao) to the left, together reading Guang Xu Zhong Bao, denoting the reign title of the Guangxu Emperor and the designation 'heavy currency'. The characters are bold and deeply cast in relief against a flat, unadorned field. No rim inscription or decorative border is present; the broad flat rim frames the design plainly. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Boo-yuwan mint — the Board of Revenue mint in Beijing — produced this issue during the Tongzhi-to-Guangxu transitional years, a period when the Qing central government was attempting to reassert control over a cash coinage system that had fragmented badly during the Taiping Rebellion. Provincial mints had proliferated, weights had collapsed, and the copper supply was chronically short. Board of Revenue pieces were intended to set a standard; whether they succeeded is another matter.
The "type A" designation in Hartill reflects die and calligraphic distinctions among Boo-yuwan output that remain an active area of specialist study.
