| Reverse description | Plain and uninscribed, with a smooth, flat field interrupted only by the central square perforation. The reverse is entirely blank, consistent with the uniface casting convention of Han dynasty Ban Liang coinage of this period. The rim is slightly raised and the surface shows the characteristic texture of ancient cast bronze. |
