| Obverse description | Central field bears four large Chinese ideograms arranged vertically in two columns, reading top to bottom and right to left, giving the denomination and monetary designation. Manchu script characters appear prominently above the central inscription, while additional Chinese ideograms encircle the periphery of the field, recording the reign title, cyclical date (Dingwei, year 33 of Guangxu), and the issuing authority. The overall layout is characteristic of late Qing machine-struck copper cash coinage, with the legends arranged in a formal, symmetrical composition without a central boss or decorative border motif. |
