| Reverse description | Plain reverse field with a central square perforation flanked by raised inner and outer rims, both characteristic of Northern Song cast iron cash coinage. The reverse surface is devoid of inscriptions or decorative devices, presenting a flat, unadorned field heavily patinated with iron rust and oxidation. The square hole edges are well-defined, and the overall casting quality is consistent with provincial iron mint production of the Yuanyou era. The heavily corroded surface texture reflects the coin's iron composition and considerable age. |
