| Reverse description | Central square hole with a single Chinese character above and at least one character below, denoting the mint and regnal year. The character 同 (Tong) appears above the hole, identifying the Tong'an Mint, while the year character in formal Chinese numerals appears below. The reverse field is notably plain and relatively flat, with a raised rim consistent with Song dynasty cast iron cash production. The legends are rendered in Regular script, though their relief is shallower and less crisp than the obverse. |
