| Reverse description | Central square hole surrounded by a plain inner rim, mirroring the obverse layout. Four Chinese characters in Regular script (kaishu) are arranged in cruciform order, reading top-to-bottom and right-to-left, forming the mint and circulation inscription 利州行使 (Li Zhou Xing Shi). The characters are evenly distributed in the four cardinal fields between the central perforation and the raised outer rim, identifying the coin as issued for circulation in Lizhou (modern-day Guangyuan, Sichuan). The style and casting quality are consistent with Southern Song provincial iron cash. |
