Reverse description Plain, uninscribed reverse displaying a flat field with a central square perforation framed by a raised square inner rim. The surface is devoid of any legend, symbol, or decorative element, consistent with standard Qin dynasty Ban Liang coinage practice. The field exhibits a deep olive-brown patina with scattered areas of green cuprite encrustation, testament to its great antiquity. The outer edge is irregular and slightly uneven, reflecting the hand-finished nature of early imperial Chinese cast coinage.
