| Reverse description | Central device depicts a stylized representation of an ancient Chinese bronze spade money (布幣, bù bì), rendered in bold outline with internal decorative incised detail including a rectangular window and a lozenge motif on the blade, evoking the archaic monetary tradition of the Zhou dynasty. Flanking the central spade coin are the Chinese characters 壹 (one) to the right and 圓 (yuan) to the left, identifying the denomination. The entire design is enclosed within the same interlocking meander border as the obverse, providing visual continuity across both faces. The flat, unadorned field accentuates the graphic simplicity of the archaic monetary device. This reverse design was highly distinctive among Republican-era patterns, consciously referencing China's ancient numismatic heritage. |
