| Reverse description | The reverse features a decorative pattern of eleven stylized wave arcs (nami) arranged symmetrically around the central square perforation, radiating outward in concentric scalloped rows to fill the coin's field. The wave motif, deeply incised into the cast surface, is characteristic of the Meiwa-period 4 Mon coinage and served as a means of distinguishing this higher-denomination issue from the 1 Mon cash coins. A plain raised rim encircles the design. |
