| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse bears a central horizontal inscription of four Chinese ideograms denoting the denomination and weight standard, flanked on each side by a single Manchu word, together reading to identify the issuing province and the coin's value in Manchu script. Stylized outlined clouds occupy each corner of the field, a decorative motif common to Kirin machine-struck bullion issues of the Guangxu era. The overall layout is balanced and symmetrical, with the inscriptions occupying the central band and the cloud ornaments providing decorative framing in the quadrants. |

Kirin Province's silver bullion coinage of the 1880s predates the standardized dragon dollar series and occupies an awkward transitional moment in Qing monetary policy — the dynasty was still debating whether to adopt western-style milled coinage nationally or continue relying on sycee silver. These Kirin pieces were struck to a tael-based weight standard rather than the dollar standard that would later dominate, making them functionally incompatible with the provincial coinages that followed within a decade.
The Kirin mint operated under significant technical constraints in this period, and early issues show inconsistencies in planchet preparation traceable to the machinery imported from Japan.
