| Reverse description | Plain reverse with a central square perforation flanked by a raised inner rim. Below the square hole, the single Chinese numeral 二 (Er, meaning '2') is cast in raised regular script relief, denoting the face value of two cash. The field is otherwise unadorned, and the coin is bounded by a plain raised outer rim. The surface shows characteristic casting texture and patination consistent with late Ming bronze coinage. |
