| Reverse description | Plain reverse field with a central square perforation enclosed by a raised inner square rim and a plain outer rim, consistent with the standard northern-type Ming cash format. A single raised dot is positioned below the inner square rim in the lower field, which serves as the distinguishing variety marker for this type (type 1, with dot). The characters 一錢 (Yi Qian) denoting the weight denomination of one qian are not present on this reverse, as they appear on the obverse side in this classification; the reverse is otherwise unadorned. The field shows typical cast surface texture with areas of grey and green patination. |
