| Reverse description | The reverse displays two Chinese ideograms in Regular script (Kaishu) positioned above and below the central square hole: 同 (Tóng) above the perforation and 元 (Yuán) below, identifying the issuing mint and the year of issue respectively. The characters are cast in bold relief against a plain, flat field, framed by a raised outer rim. The composition is austere and functional, consistent with Song dynasty mint-marking conventions. The square central perforation is cleanly defined with straight, raised edges. |
