| Reverse description | Plain reverse field surrounding the central square perforation, devoid of any inscriptions, symbols, or decorative elements. The surface exhibits the characteristic granular texture and slight irregularities consistent with Ming dynasty sand-casting technology. A faint raised inner rim borders the square hole, and a plain outer rim defines the coin's periphery. On some mint varieties, a single Chinese character mint mark may appear, but this example shows a blank reverse. |
