| Reverse description | Reverse is entirely blank, the coin being uniface with no legend, decorative element, or raised rim on this side. The flat field shows a rough, granular cast surface with areas of green and brown patination consistent with prolonged burial. The large square central perforation is clearly defined, with slightly irregular edges reflecting the hand-finishing typical of early Han cast coinage. |
