| Obverse description | Central field features a decorative floral rosette flanked on either side by Manchu script characters. Four large Chinese ideograms are arranged in a cross reading top to bottom and right to left around the central flower. Additional Chinese ideograms appear in the upper and lower fields denoting the denomination and reign era. The overall design is characteristic of late Qing provincial coinage, with the inscriptions identifying the issuing province, the Guangxu reign period, and the Yuanbao currency designation. |
