| Reverse description | Plain reverse with central square perforation (穿) surrounded by a raised inner rim and a raised outer rim. The field is entirely blank and undecorated, as is standard for Southern Song two-cash pieces of this issue. The surface exhibits extensive grey-green and white encrustation with areas of bronze disease, consistent with long-term burial, obscuring much of the original cast surface. No mint marks, symbols, or secondary legends are present on this example. |
