| Beschrijving keerzijde | Cast reverse displaying two large Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu) arranged vertically above and below the central square hole, reading top to bottom: 太平 (Taiping, meaning 'Great Peace' or 'Taiping'). The characters are boldly raised in high relief against a flat, unadorned field, enclosed by a plain raised rim. The design is simple and emblematic, referencing the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement directly through its name. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, a millenarian Christian theocracy that controlled much of southern China during the 1850s, issued its own coinage as a deliberate assertion of dynastic legitimacy against the Qing. This piece, reading Tianguo Shengbao — "Sacred Currency of the Heavenly Kingdom" — circulated within territories where Hong Xiuquan's movement held administrative control, primarily in the Yangtze valley after the fall of Nanjing in 1853.
Hartill 23.21 identifies this as the brass 5 Cash variety. The Taiping mint output was inconsistent, and die quality varies considerably across the series.
