Reverse description Plain, uninscribed reverse of circular form with a central square perforation, consistent with standard Shu Han cash coin production. The broad, flat field shows no legend, decorative device, or inner rim, distinguishing this late degenerate type from earlier, better-struck issues. The surface displays extensive patination in shades of pale grey and green, with visible casting porosity and surface granularity typical of hastily produced late Shu bronzes. The outer rim is slightly irregular, reflecting the reduced quality control of the issuing authority in its final period.
