| Reverse description | The reverse presents the same raised inner and outer rims framing the central square hole, with a single Chinese character in regular script positioned above the perforation in the upper field, denoting the regnal year of issue. The remaining fields are plain and unadorned, consistent with standard Southern Song cash coinage practice. The casting surface shows natural patination and minor surface texture inherent to the sand-cast method. |
