| Obverse description | Central field features four large Chinese ideograms arranged vertically and read right to left, flanked by Manchu script characters at centre. The entire central motif is encircled by a border of additional Chinese ideograms forming the peripheral legend, denoting the province of issue, the reign era of the Guangxu Emperor, and the denomination expressed in traditional weight units. The inscriptions are rendered in crisp, deeply struck relief consistent with a Western-engraved pattern die. |
