(Translation: One Bu)
Reverse description Vertical inscription in bold, raised kanji characters reading '南鐐' (Nanryō, meaning 'fine silver' or 'refined silver'), centrally placed within the field and executed in a fluid, hand-engraved cursive style. The legend identifies the piece as a silver denomination struck by the Kaga Domain. A double-line rectangular border frames the inscription, with characteristic raised pellets adorning the outer edges of the flan along the long sides, consistent with the obverse design treatment.
