| Reverse description | Central field displays six large Chinese characters arranged in two rows of three, reading 省足三 / 平紋錢 (Provincial Scale Fine Silver / 3 Qian), denoting the denomination and purity standard. The characters are boldly engraved in a style consistent with late Qing Hunan private assay coinage. An inner circle frames the inscription, separated from the outer border by a plain recessed channel. The outer border is composed of a continuous ring of raised pellets matching the obverse, giving the piece a uniform appearance on both sides. |
