Reverse description Cast iron reverse featuring the single Chinese character 盛 (Mori, an abbreviation for Morioka) prominently displayed in the upper field above the central square perforation, serving as the mint or domain identification mark. Surrounding the character is an elaborate wave or scale pattern composed of radiating curved lines forming fan-like or overlapping arc motifs that fill the entire field between the inner and outer rims, a decorative device characteristic of the four-mon series issued by Japanese domains during the late Edo period. Raised inner and outer rims frame the design.
