| Obverse description | Central field bears four large Chinese ideograms arranged in a cruciform reading pattern (top to bottom, right to left), denoting the denomination and issuing authority. Manchu script appears in two lines across the upper portion of the field, flanking the central ideograms. An outer legend in Chinese characters encircles the entire design, reading clockwise, identifying the reign period, the Ministry of Revenue as minting authority, the Great Qing empire, the copper alloy, and the face value of five Cash (Wen). The overall layout is formal and rectilinear, consistent with the machine-struck imperial coinage of the late Qing reform era. |
