Obverse description Central field displays the Chinese denomination characters 二角 (2 Jiao) within a beaded inner circle. Surrounding the central inscription, eight Manchu script characters are arranged radially in the annular field, reading the reign title and mint authority. The outer border is formed by a continuous milled denticular rim. The overall design is plain and typographically focused, with no figural imagery, relying entirely on the calligraphic quality of the Manchu and Chinese script for its visual impact.
