| Reverse description | The central field bears four Chinese ideograms arranged in a square reading pattern, denoting the denomination of seven mace. A single Manchu word appears at each lateral side of the central inscription, providing the bilingual denomination statement characteristic of Qing dynasty official coinage. Stylized outlined cloud motifs occupy each of the four corners, lending the design an ornamental framework consistent with imperial Chinese numismatic convention. The overall layout is balanced and formal, reflecting both Chinese and Manchu administrative traditions of the Kirin province issues. |
