| Reverse description | Plain reverse with a central square perforation framed by a slightly raised inner rim and a plain outer rim. The field is entirely blank, showing no inscriptions, symbols, or decorative elements. The surfaces exhibit a heavy, uneven dark brown and blue-green patina typical of ancient cast copper coinage, with the casting seam and surface texture characteristic of Japanese Nara- and Heian-period mint production. |
