| Reverse description | Central field bears six large Chinese characters arranged in two rows of three within a plain raised inner circle, reading 省足平 / 陸紋錢 (Provincial Scale Fine Silver / 6 Qian), denoting the denomination and silver purity standard. The characters are engraved in bold clerical script and fill the field with minimal spacing. A border of uniformly spaced raised beads encircles the entire design, consistent with the obverse treatment. The overall style is austere and utilitarian, characteristic of Chinese provincial bullion coinage of the late Qing period. |
