Reverse description The reverse bears a bold four-character central inscription reading 軍餉足紋 (meaning 'military pay, full silver standard'), arranged in a two-by-two grid format occupying the majority of the field. Below and to the left, two additional characters 通行 ('in general circulation') and 過 are prominently struck. Small circular pellets are distributed around the border as decorative elements. The legends are deeply incised in a bold, utilitarian Chinese script, conveying the coin's purpose as military campaign currency. The overall design is austere and functional, consistent with emergency or locally produced coinage.
