| Reverse description | Completely plain and uninscribed, displaying only the raised square rim surrounding the central square perforation and an outer circular rim. The field is smooth and featureless, consistent with the uniface production style of Western Liao cash coinage. The surface shows an even patina typical of cast bronze coinage of the period. |
