| Additional information |
Anhwei's provincial mint was among the most prolific and technically inconsistent of the late Qing minting operations, producing silver coinage under repeated pressure from Beijing to standardize output it had little interest in standardizing. The Y#42 type is distinguished from related Anhwei issues by its four-character obverse inscription rather than the more common longer legends, a deliberate stylistic choice whose administrative rationale remains poorly documented.
Mintage figures for this type were never reliably recorded by the province.
