| Reverse description | Plain reverse with a central square hole (方穿) framed by a raised inner rim and a raised outer rim. The field is entirely blank and uninscribed, displaying the coarse, pitted surface texture characteristic of cast iron Song Dynasty coinage. No mint marks, symbols, or additional legends are present. The reverse exhibits the uneven casting finish typical of iron cash produced at multiple provincial mints during the Jingde reign period. |
