| Reverse description | Plain reverse with a central square perforation bounded by a raised square inner rim. The field is entirely blank and devoid of any inscription, mint mark, or decorative element. The raised outer rim is present but shows considerable surface porosity and corrosion consistent with an iron flan that has undergone significant oxidation over centuries. The casting surface is rough and uneven, typical of iron cash produced at provincial Song dynasty mints. |
