| Obverse description | Central field bears four large Chinese characters reading 'Guangxu Yuanbao' (光緒元寶), indicating the reign title of the Guangxu Emperor and the denomination designation, arranged vertically within a beaded inner circle. The outer legend comprises Chinese characters denoting the Board of Revenue (戶部) as the minting authority and the denomination equivalent of 20 cash (當制錢二十文), flanking the central inscription at top and bottom. A Manchu script legend runs around the outer border, mirroring the Chinese inscriptions. The coin bears a Soviet countermark — a five-pointed star — applied in the field, indicating reuse and authorization by the Hunan-Hupeh Soviet authority in 1931. The overall surface shows characteristic wear and patina consistent with circulation use. |
