| Reverse description | The reverse displays a central square hole flanked by two vertical Manchu script words reading 'Boo-de' (ᠪᠣᠣ ᡩᡝ), denoting the Board of Revenue mint in Beijing. Above the square hole appears the Chinese character 當 (dang, meaning 'equivalent to'), and below are the two Chinese characters 五十 (wu shi, meaning '50'), together indicating a denomination of 50 cash. Wide, plain rims frame the entire reverse field, consistent with the large-denomination cast coinage of the Xianfeng reign. |
