| Reverse description | The reverse features a central square hole flanked by two vertically arranged Manchu script characters reading 'Boo-fu' (ᠪᠣᠣ ᡶᡠ), indicating the Board of Revenue mint in Fuzhou. A single Chinese numeral 五 (Wu, meaning 'five') appears above the hole and 十 (Shi, meaning 'ten') below, together denoting the denomination of 50 cash. The Manchu legends are cast in bold relief on either side of the central aperture, within a plain, unadorned field bordered by a raised rim. |
