| Reverse description | The reverse is essentially plain, featuring the central square perforation enclosed by a concentric raised square boss, itself set within a broad, smooth concave field bounded by a plain raised outer rim. No inscriptions, symbols, or decorative devices are present. The cast gold surface displays a fine granular texture characteristic of Edo-period casting techniques, with slight tool marks visible around the square aperture. |
