| Reverse description | Plain reverse, entirely blank and uninscribed, bearing only the raised square rim surrounding the central square perforation and the raised outer rim at the coin's edge. The reverse field is flat and featureless, consistent with the uniface casting practice standard for Northern Song Dynasty cash coinage. The surface displays a heavily patinated brown-bronze tone with scattered mineral deposits and areas of green cuprite corrosion, indicative of extended burial. |
