| Beschrijving keerzijde | Cast iron reverse displaying a bilingual legend arranged around the central square hole. A single Chinese ideogram 當 (Dang, meaning 'equal to' or 'value') appears above the hole and 十 (Shi, meaning 'ten') below, while two Manchu script words ᠪᠣᠣ ᠴᡳᠣᠸᠠᠨ (Boo-chiowan, denoting the Board of Revenue Mint) flank the hole on the left and right respectively, reading vertically. The layout follows the standard Qing dynasty convention for denomination and mint identification on cash coinage. The field is plain with a raised outer rim consistent with the obverse. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Boo-chiowan (the Board of Revenue mint in Beijing) struck iron cash during the Xianfeng period as an emergency measure — copper shortages driven by the catastrophic cost of suppressing the Taiping Rebellion forced the Qing government to experiment with both iron and lead alloy coinage from 1853 onward. Iron pieces were deeply unpopular; they corroded rapidly, were rejected by merchants, and had effectively collapsed in acceptance within a few years of issue. The Dai (Manchu) script on the reverse identifies the issuing mint, standard practice for Board of Revenue output.
Hartill 22.735 is among the scarcer iron issues from Boo-chiowan, partly because survivors in any condition above heavily corroded are genuinely uncommon.
