| Obverse description | Central field displays the four-character Chinese legend 光緒元寶 (Guangxu Yuanbao) arranged around a floral rosette motif within a beaded inner circle. The upper arc of the outer legend reads 北洋造 (Made in Pei Yang) in Chinese characters, while the lower arc bears the weight denomination 庫平一錢四分四釐 (Treasury Standard 1 Mace 4.4 Candareens). Manchu script flanks the central device on both sides within the inner circle. The coin's rim is defined by a fine toothed border, and the overall engraving style is characteristic of late Qing mechanical mint production. |
