| Reverse description | Plain reverse of standard Northern Song cash form, featuring a central square perforation enclosed by a raised square rim, surrounded by a broad, unadorned flat field and bounded by a raised outer circular rim. The surface is devoid of any inscription, mint mark, or decorative device, conforming to the typical anonymous reverse design of contemporary Song Dynasty circulation coinage. The field displays a dense, mottled patina of deep green verdigris interspersed with sandy ochre encrustations, consistent with prolonged burial. The casting seam and surface texture reflect the hand-finished quality characteristic of Song mint production. |
