| Obverse lettering | 咸 寶 元 豐 (Translation: Xian Feng Yuan Bao Xianfeng (Emperor) / Original currency) |
| Reverse description | The reverse features two vertical Manchu script words (ᠪᠣᠣ ᠰᡠ, transliterated as 'Boo-su', denoting the Suzhou Mint) flanking the central square hole, one word to the left and one to the right, each read vertically in the Manchu tradition. Above the hole appears the Chinese character 當 (Dang, meaning 'valued at') and below it the character 百 (Bai, meaning 'one hundred'), together indicating a denomination of 100 cash. All legends are cast in raised relief against a plain flat field, consistent with standard Qing dynasty emergency coinage practice. |
