Obverse description Central field features a raised disc bearing a single incuse Chinese ideogram, surrounded by four Chinese ideograms arranged to be read top to bottom and right to left. Manchu script appears in the upper register, with additional Chinese ideograms encircling the periphery of the coin. The inscriptions collectively identify the issuing authority as the Board of Revenue (Hu Poo), the denomination as 5 Mace (Qian), and the reign of Emperor Guangxu, with the cyclical date Bingwu (1906) noted at left. The design reflects the formal imperial minting conventions of the late Qing dynasty.
