| Reverse description | The reverse displays a central square hole flanked by two vertical Manchu script words reading 'Boo-he' (ᠪᠣᠣ ᡥᠣ᠋), identifying the He (Henan) Board of Revenue mint. A single Chinese ideogram 當 (Dang, meaning 'equal to' or 'valued at') is positioned above the hole, while two Chinese characters 十五 (Wu Shi, meaning '50') appear below, together indicating the denomination of 50 cash. All inscriptions are cast in raised relief against a plain flat field, consistent with Qing dynasty large-denomination cash coinage practice. |
