| Obverse description | Central field bears four Chinese ideograms arranged vertically and horizontally, flanking a pair of Manchu script characters at centre. The surrounding legend, rendered in Chinese characters, reads the reign title Guangxu and the mint name Pei Yang (北洋), with an additional inscription denoting the weight standard of 7.2 candareens. The composition presents a formal, symmetrical arrangement typical of late Qing dynasty provincial coinage, with the Manchu script occupying a prominent central cartouche. |
