| Reverse description | Four large Chinese characters in traditional regular script are arranged in the four cardinal positions around the central field, reading 宣 (top), 統 (right), 藏 (left), and 通 (bottom), together forming the legend 'Xuantong Bao Cang' — Xuantong (Emperor) Tibetan coin. At the centre of the reverse is a small stylized decorative device, likely a floral or cloud motif, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The rim is bordered by a continuous row of raised beads. The characters are boldly struck and dominate the design in a style consistent with Chinese imperial coinage of the late Qing period. |
