| Reverse description | Central square hole surrounded by a raised square rim, with a single Chinese character 潭 (Tan) positioned to the left of the central aperture in regular script, identifying the Tanzhou mint. The remainder of the reverse field is plain and devoid of additional markings. The surface exhibits extensive green and blue-green patination throughout, with a plain raised outer rim. The casting quality is typical of late Tang provincial mint production. |
