| Reverse description | The reverse displays two vertical Manchu script characters flanking the central square hole, reading 'Boo-yuwan' (the Manchu rendering of the Board of Revenue mint name), one character to the left and one to the right of the aperture. A single Chinese ideogram 當 (Dang, meaning 'equal to' or 'valued at') appears above the hole, and the numeral 十 (Shi, meaning 'ten') appears below, denoting the denomination of 10 cash. The Manchu legends are boldly cast in a style consistent with mid-Qing dynasty imperial coinage, set within a plain field and broad raised rim. |
