| Reverse description | Plain copper field displaying two large Chinese characters in traditional regular script (kaishu) arranged vertically around a prominent central incuse circle. The character 一 ('one') appears above the circle and 文 ('cash') below, together reading 一文 ('one cash') to denote the denomination. The deeply struck characters are bold and unadorned, with no additional ornamental devices or border inscriptions. The raised rim frames the minimalist design, which reflects the experimental, prototype nature of this Xuantong-era pattern issue. |
