| Reverse description | Plain, uninscribed reverse with a central square perforation surrounded by a raised inner rim and an outer raised rim. The flat field is entirely devoid of markings, legends, or mint symbols, presenting a smooth, featureless surface with a dark, even patina. A faint diagonal file mark or casting line is visible across the field, consistent with typical Tang-dynasty cash coin production. Some specimens of this type bear a single incuse or raised line (crescent, dot, or stroke) on the reverse as a mint or batch identifier, though this example shows a plain field. |
