| Reversbeschreibung | Central field displays six large Chinese characters arranged in two rows of three, reading 省足三 / 平紋錢 (Provincial Scale Fine Silver / 3 Qian), denoting the denomination and purity standard. The characters are boldly engraved in a style consistent with late Qing Hunan private assay coinage. An inner circle frames the inscription, separated from the outer border by a plain recessed channel. The outer border is composed of a continuous ring of raised pellets matching the obverse, giving the piece a uniform appearance on both sides. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Changsha Chien-Yi Firm was one of several Hunanese private money shops (錢莊) operating during the final convulsions of the Qing monetary system, when the central government's inability to standardize coinage created a vacuum filled by local commercial issuers. These privately struck silver pieces circulated on the strength of the issuing firm's commercial reputation rather than any state guarantee — a fragile arrangement that collapsed entirely within a few years as Republican-era reforms swept away the old credit networks.
The "normal Wu" designation distinguishes this die from a variant with a modified character form, a distinction first systematically documented by Eduard Kann in his cataloging of Chinese silver.
