Reverse description The reverse is entirely occupied by twelve Chinese characters arranged in vertical columns, reading from top to bottom and right to left in the traditional manner. The inscription is rendered in Seal script (篆書), giving the legend an archaic and formal appearance. The text is disposed across the field without any additional borders, devices, or decorative elements. The legend explains the rationale for the coin's issuance, referencing the high cost of living and the local authority's mandate to cast currency to stabilize prices.
