| Reverse description | The reverse displays a trilingual legend arranged around the central square hole, a hallmark of Qing-era Xinjiang cash coinage. Two Chinese characters appear above the hole reading 當百 (Dang Bai, meaning 'worth one hundred'), while the Manchu script designation for Kucha mint (ᡴᡠᠴᠠ) appears to the left and the corresponding Old Uyghur (Arabic script) rendering كوچا appears to the right. The multilingual composition reflects the administrative and cultural plurality of Qing governance in the Xinjiang region. A plain raised rim borders the entire reverse field. |
