| Additional information |
Kirin Province's copper cash issues of this period were produced under considerable administrative friction — the Qing court's push to modernize provincial minting through machine-struck coinage repeatedly clashed with local officials resistant to the capital's directives. The Boo-gi mint (機器局) operated machinery largely sourced from foreign suppliers, and output consistency was never fully achieved.
Y#175 is among the scarcer denominations from this facility, with surviving examples frequently showing uneven planchet preparation rather than strike weakness — a foundry problem, not a press one.
