| Reverse description | Plain and featureless reverse with a central square perforation surrounded by a raised square rim and an outer raised circular border, uniform with the obverse construction. The flat field is entirely blank, confirming the uniface design characteristic of many Song dynasty cast iron cash coins. Heavy iron corrosion and mineral deposits cover the surface, displaying ochre and grey tones typical of excavated iron coins. |
