Reverse description Cast reverse featuring two Chinese characters in regular script arranged horizontally to the left and right of the central square hole, within plain inner and outer raised rims. The character 五 (Wu, meaning 'five') appears to the right of the hole and 厘 (Li, a unit of silver) to the left, together denoting the coin's value equivalent of five li of silver. The fields are plain and the characters are in bold raised relief consistent with Yunnan or Hunan mint casting practices of the period.
