| Reverse description | Plain uniface reverse bearing only the raised square central perforation with a slightly raised rim around the inner square hole. The broad, flat field is completely devoid of any inscription, symbol, or decorative element, consistent with standard early Tang dynasty cash coinage practice. The surface displays natural green and blue-green patination typical of buried bronze, with a well-defined outer rim. |
