Obverse description Central field bears four large Chinese ideograms arranged vertically and read top to bottom, right to left, flanked by Manchu script characters at the top. A circular legend composed of Chinese characters surrounds the central inscription, reading clockwise and conveying the denomination, issuing authority (Board of Revenue, Great Qing), and regnal year. The overall layout follows the traditional Imperial Chinese cash coin format adapted for the milled coinage era, with all inscriptions rendered in regular script (kaishu).
