| Obverse description | Central field features four large Chinese ideograms arranged in a cruciform pattern, reading top to bottom and right to left, flanked by Manchu script characters above. A circular border of Chinese ideograms surrounds the central device, denoting the issuing authority (Ministry of Revenue), denomination (20 Cash), and the reign title of the Guangxu Emperor. The cyclical date characters appear in the upper field, while the Manchu legend identifies the regnal year. The overall design is typical of the centralised Board of Revenue coinage reform issues, combining both Chinese and Manchu scripts in a formal, symmetrical arrangement. |
