| Reverse description | Central square hole flanked above by a single character in ʼPhags-pa script, cast in relief and read vertically, denoting a specific year in the Chinese sexagenary (cyclical) calendar. The reverse field is otherwise plain, bounded by raised inner and outer rims consistent with Yuan dynasty cash coinage. The ʼPhags-pa script character serves as a dating marker unique to this series, allowing individual years of issue within the Zhizheng era to be identified. |
