| Reverse description | Central square hole flanked by three cast characters in regular script (kaishu), read in conventional order: the numeral 十 (Shi, meaning 'ten') appears above the perforation, the mint identifier 宻 (Mi, abbreviation for Miyun) is positioned to the right, and 一兩 (Yi Liang, meaning 'one liang,' denoting the weight standard) appears to the left. The reverse inscription thus records both the denomination and the issuing garrison mint, consistent with the practice of large-denomination Ming cash coinage. |
