| Reverse description | Plain, essentially featureless reverse with a central square hole surrounded by a flat, undecorated field. A single Chinese ideogram 興 (Xing) appears in low relief above the square perforation in regular script, identifying the Xingwangfu mint. The remainder of the reverse field is smooth and unadorned, consistent with the minimalist casting tradition of Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period local cash coinage. |
