| Reverse description | Central square hole flanked by two Chinese ideograms in regular script, one positioned above the aperture and one below, reading 信 (Xin, indicating the Yazhou mint or a mint-related designation) and 伍 (Wu, denoting the value of five cash). The field is plain and flat, enclosed by a raised inner rim and a broad outer rim consistent with standard Southern Song cast coinage. The reverse presents a notably austere design relative to the more elaborate obverse. |
