| Reverse description | Six large Chinese characters arranged in two rows of three occupy the central field, reading 省足陸 / 平紋錢 (Provincial Scale Fine Silver / 6 Qian), denoting the denomination and silver fineness standard. The characters are deeply struck in a bold calligraphic style consistent with commercial bullion coinage of the late Qing period. The design is framed by a raised inner circle, with a wide beaded border forming the outermost ring on a plain flat field. |
