| Reverse description | The reverse bears the mint and denomination inscription arranged around the central square hole in a cruciform layout. A single Chinese character appears above the hole (五, Wu, meaning 'five') and one below (十, Shi, meaning 'ten'), together denoting the value of fifty cash. Two Manchu script characters flank the hole horizontally, reading ᠪᠣᠣ ᡶᡠ (Boo-fu), identifying the Fuzhou mint. The bold, well-spaced characters are cast in high relief within a plain, unadorned field enclosed by a raised rim. |
