| Reverse description | Essentially plain reverse featuring a central square perforation enclosed by a raised square rim and an outer circular rim, with a single crescent-shaped mark positioned below the square hole, facing downward toward the outer rim. The field is otherwise unadorned and flat, covered with a mottled blue-green and brown patina. The crescent mark serves as a mint or batch control symbol characteristic of certain Southern Tang cash issues catalogued under Hartill 15.102. |
