A single upward-facing crescent mark is prominently cast in the upper field above the square hole, and a single circular dot mark appears in the lower field below the square hole. These mint or batch control marks are characteristic of Song dynasty cash issues and serve to identify the issuing facility or casting series. The remainder of the reverse field is devoid of inscription or further ornament. |
