| 表面の説明 | Central field bears four large Chinese characters reading 光緒元寶 (Guangxu Yuanbao, 'Guangxu Precious Currency') arranged in a cruciform layout, with a small vertical Manchu script legend in the center. The surrounding annulus, defined by an inner beaded circle, carries the English legend 'KWANG-TUNG PROVINCE' at the top and '3 MACE AND 6½ CANDAREENS' at the bottom, all in raised Roman letters. The overall design is spare and monumental, with the bold Chinese characters dominating the flan in the style characteristic of early Kwangtung machine-struck silver coinage. |

Kwangtung's 1889 silver issue emerged from the province's pioneering adoption of Western steam-press minting technology — the Guangzhou mint was among the first in Qing China to operate machinery imported from the Birmingham Mint, installed under the supervision of foreign engineers at Governor Zhang Zhidong's explicit direction. The traditional weight denomination in mace and candareens was deliberately retained to reassure a public deeply skeptical of machine-struck coinage, which many merchants initially refused at face value.
The .860 fineness sits below the contemporaneous Mexican peso that dominated South China's trade, a differential that created persistent arbitrage problems and fed ongoing debates within the Zongli Yamen about standardizing provincial silver output.
