| Beschrijving keerzijde | Plain, uninscribed reverse featuring a central square perforation surrounded by an undecorated flat field with no legend, rim, or decorative elements. The surface exhibits a heavy, uniform blue-green cuprite and malachite patina with scattered areas of sandy encrustation, consistent with long-term burial. The irregular casting seams and slightly uneven surface are characteristic of Han dynasty sand-mold casting technique. |

The reversed-legend variety of this type is a die curiosity rather than an official variant — the result of an engraver cutting the characters in mirror orientation, an error that slipped through quality oversight at one of the numerous provincial mints operating under Han centralization efforts. The period between 136 and 118 BC saw repeated imperial attempts to suppress unauthorized casting, culminating in the Wudi reforms that abolished the half-liang entirely in favor of the wushu in 118 BC.
Hartill 7.31 distinguishes this from the standard issue precisely by the legend orientation — a detail easily missed without direct comparison.
