| Reverse description | Plain reverse typical of Japanese Heian-period cast copper cash coinage, featuring a central square perforation surrounded by a raised square inner border. The broad flat field between the inner border and the outer raised rim is entirely unadorned and devoid of any inscription or decorative element. The surface shows characteristic casting texture with patches of ochre, green verdigris, and dark oxidation patina consistent with age. |
