| Reverse description | Plain and featureless reverse, entirely without inscription, design, or ornamentation. The surface is bounded by a raised inner rim surrounding the central square perforation and a broad outer rim at the coin's edge. The field displays a characteristic patina of green and brown oxidation consistent with aged bronze. This uniface design is typical of standard Northern Song dynasty cash coinage of the period. |
