| Reverse description | The reverse presents a largely plain field surrounding the central square perforation, framed by raised inner and outer rims consistent with the obverse. A single Chinese character in regular script, 工 (Gong), appears in one quadrant relative to the central hole, denoting the Ministry of Works (Gongbu) as the issuing authority or mint department. The field is otherwise unadorned, as is typical of Southern Ming cash issues, and the surface shows the characteristic granular texture of sand-cast production. |
