| Reverse description | The reverse is plain and uninscribed, featuring only the central square hole framed by a raised inner rim and a broad outer rim, both concentric with the coin's circular body. The flat field shows heavy iron oxidation and surface corrosion consistent with burial or long-term deposition, presenting a mottled reddish-brown and ochre patina. No mint marks, reign indicators, or additional characters are visible on this side, which is characteristic of many Northern Song iron cash issues of this denomination. |
