| Obverse description | Central field bears four principal Chinese ideograms arranged vertically and read top to bottom, right to left, denoting 'Made in Tai Province' and 'Guangxu' (the reigning emperor). Surrounding these central characters is a circular border of additional Chinese ideograms conveying the denomination and weight standard, reading 'Yuanbao' (Original Currency) and 'Worth 7.2 Candareens.' The inscription is arranged in a traditional classical layout consistent with late Qing dynasty provincial coinage, with characters rendered in a formal clerical style. |
