Jest to cynowa imitacja chińskiej monety pieniężnej, która jest zgodna z opisami podanymi przez wczesnych holenderskich podróżników na Jawę i Sumatrę około 1600 roku. Według Yih (2012:33) i Mitchiner (2012:24-23), Xianping Yuanbao jest jedną z najpopularniejszych imitacji. Imitacja ta została zauważona przez Robinsona (2015) jako szczególnie charakterystyczna, ze stylizowanym, ale czytelnym renderowaniem chińskich znaków.

Robinson (2015) dostarczył następującą próbkę:

This is a tin imitation of Chinese cash coin that is consistent with descriptions given by early Dutch travelers to Java and Sumatra around the 1600s. According to Yih (2012:33) and Mitchiner (2012:24-23), Xianping Yuanbao is one the most popularly imitated. This imitation is noted by Robinson (2015) as particularly distinctive, with stylized but legible rendering of Chinese characters.
