| Aversbeschreibung | Cast brass cash coin featuring a central square hole flanked by four large Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu), arranged in cruciform reading order. The characters 咸豐元寶 (Xianfeng Yuanbao) are boldly rendered in the field, reading top-bottom-right-left: 咸 (top), 寶 (bottom), 元 (right), 豐 (left). The strokes are deeply incised with strong, confident calligraphic quality typical of Board of Revenue issues. The coin has a plain, raised rim with no additional ornamental devices in the field. |

| Reversbeschreibung | Cast brass reverse centering on a square hole, with the denomination character 當 (dang, meaning 'valued at') positioned above the hole and 百 (bai, meaning 'one hundred') below, rendered in bold regular script. To the left and right of the central square hole appear Manchu script characters reading ᠪᠣᠣ ᡤᡠᠩ (Boo-gung), identifying the Board of Revenue Mint in Beijing. The reverse legends are deeply cast with clear, well-spaced characters and a plain raised rim, consistent with high-denomination Xianfeng-era cash coinage. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Xianfeng reign (1851–1861) forced a complete breakdown of the Qing copper cash system. The Taiping Rebellion had severed supply lines for raw copper from Yunnan, the dynasty's primary source, while military expenditures drained the treasury at a rate the existing one-cash denomination could not sustain. The Board of Revenue Mint in Beijing responded by issuing these large-denomination cash — 10, 50, 100, and 500 cash pieces — as a fiscal emergency measure beginning in 1853.
The 100-cash pieces were deeply unpopular. Merchants and common people quickly recognized that the actual metal value bore no relationship to the face value, and widespread discounting followed almost immediately. The Board of Revenue Mint was closed entirely by 1859, having failed to stabilize anything.
