| Reverse description | The reverse presents a central square hole flanked horizontally by two Manchu script characters reading 'Boo-fu' (ᠪᠣᠣ ᡶᡠ), identifying the Fuzhou mint. A single Chinese numeral 一 (yi, 'one') appears above the hole and 十 (shi, 'ten') below, denoting the denomination of 10 cash. Along the outer rim, four Chinese characters 五錢計重 (wu qian ji zhong) read top to bottom, right to left, indicating a calculated weight of five qian. The flat field is bounded by plain inner and outer rims typical of Qing dynasty cast coinage. |
