| Reverse description | Reverse displays two large Chinese characters in regular script flanking the central square hole: 壹 (Yi, meaning 'one') above the aperture and 分 (Fen, meaning 'fen') below, together reading 壹分 (Yi Fen), indicating a denomination equivalent to one fen of silver, or ten cash. The characters are deeply and boldly cast in high relief against a plain, unadorned field. The wide flat rim is consistent with the obverse. This denomination inscription is a distinctive feature of the Xingchao Tongbao series, explicitly tying the coin's value to a silver standard, reflecting the monetary reforms of the Kewang regime. |
