Obverse description Central field bears four large Chinese ideograms arranged vertically, flanked by Manchu script characters at centre, the whole surrounded by a circular border of additional Chinese ideograms denoting the issuing province, reign title, and denomination. The inscription reads from top to bottom and right to left in traditional Chinese fashion, identifying the piece as a product of Heilungkiang Province struck during the Guangxu reign. The Manchu characters in the centre mirror the Chinese legend, affirming the dual-script convention standard on late Qing imperial coinage. The peripheral legend records the weight standard of 3 Mace and 6 Candareens.
