| Obverse description | Central square hole surrounded by four large Chinese characters arranged in cruciform fashion, read top-to-bottom and right-to-left in the traditional manner. The characters 乾隆通寶 (Qian Long Tong Bao) occupy the four cardinal positions around the perforation, rendered in regular script (kaishu) with bold, well-defined strokes. The broad flat rim encircles the field, which shows typical casting texture consistent with late Qing provincial production. No additional decorative elements or inner or outer rim beading are present. |

| Reverse description | Central square hole flanked by inscriptions in two scripts arranged in cruciform layout. A single Chinese character 喀 (Ka) appears above the perforation and 什 (Shi) below, denoting the mint location abbreviation and the denomination value of ten cash respectively. To the left and right of the square hole, Manchu script reads ᠪᠣᠣ ᡴᡠᠴᠠ (Boo Kucha), identifying the Kucha mint. The casting is typical of late nineteenth-century South Xinjiang provincial issues, with a plain flat rim and moderately detailed characters. |
