| Reverse description | Plain field divided by the central square hole, with a single Chinese character 重 (Chong) cast in relief above the hole, denoting the Chongqing-fu mint. Below the hole, a small upward-facing crescent symbol appears in the lower field, serving as a mint or batch identifier. Both the character and crescent are rendered within a plain inner rim bordered by a raised outer rim, consistent with late Ming casting conventions. |
