| Obverse description | Central square hole flanked by four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu), arranged in cruciform reading order — top to bottom and right to left. The characters 咸豐重寶 (Xianfeng Zhongbao, meaning 'Xianfeng [reign] heavy currency') occupy the four cardinal positions around the central perforation. The field is plain and unadorned, with the legend cast in bold relief against a flat ground typical of Qing dynasty cash coinage. |

| Reverse description | Central square hole with two Manchu script characters (ᠪᠣᠣ ᡠ, reading 'Boo-u') positioned to the left and right of the perforation in vertical orientation, denoting the Board of Revenue mint. A single Chinese character 當 (dang, 'value') appears above the hole, and 十 (shi, 'ten') below, indicating the denomination of ten cash. A crescent symbol is cast in the upper right field, serving as a mint mark or batch identifier. The entire design is executed in the standard cast relief style of Qing dynasty coinage. |
