| Reverse description | Plain reverse field surrounding the central square hole, with a small depiction of a horse (or running animal) positioned above the hole in the upper field, serving as a mint or batch identifier characteristic of southern-type Chongzhen Tongbao issues. The inner and outer rims are raised and reasonably well-defined. The animal figure is rendered in a simple, schematic casting style typical of late Ming provincial mint production. The remainder of the reverse field is blank. |
