| Obverse description | Central field bears four large Chinese ideograms arranged in a cruciform pattern reading top-to-bottom and right-to-left, flanked by Manchu script characters at centre. The entire central device is encircled by a ring of additional Chinese ideograms forming the denominational and mint authority inscriptions. The design is rendered in shallow relief typical of late Qing provincial milled coinage, with a beaded inner border separating the central legends from the outer inscription band. |
