| Reverse description | Six bold Chinese characters arranged in two rows occupy the central field, reading 省平足貳紋錢 (Provincial Scale Fine Silver / 2 Qian), denoting the denomination and purity standard. The raised characters are executed in the same robust, commercial script as the obverse. A beaded inner border surrounds the inscriptions, encircled by a plain raised rim consistent with privately-issued Hunan bullion coinage of the late Qing period. |
