| Reverse description | The reverse is divided into four quadrants by the central square hole, featuring a bilingual inscription in Manchu script and Chinese characters denoting the mint name and denomination. Two vertical Manchu words flanking the hole read 'Boo-chiowan' (ᠪᠣᠣ ᠴᡳᠣᠸᠠᠨ), identifying the Board of Revenue Mint in Beijing. A single Chinese character above the hole reads 當 (Dang, 'valued at'), while two Chinese characters below read 五十 (Wu Shi, 'fifty'), collectively indicating a denomination of 50 cash. The inscription is cast in strong relief within a plain, unadorned field bounded by a raised rim. |
