| Reverse description | The reverse is entirely plain and uninscribed, presenting a flat, featureless field retaining its original sand-cast surface texture, now covered with an even patina of brown and olive-green corrosion products. The raised inner square rim surrounding the central square perforation and the raised outer rim are both visible, consistent with standard Southern Song dynasty cash coin production. No mint marks, symbols, or supplementary inscriptions are present. |
