| Reverse description | The reverse displays a central square hole with three Chinese characters in regular script arranged around the perforation: 吉 (Ji) positioned above the hole and two further characters flanking the sides. The characters 權鈔 and 伍錢 denote the denomination and its equivalence in paper currency, identifying this piece as a 5 Qian denomination token tied to the paper money system of the late Yuan Dynasty. The field is flat and relatively plain, with a broad rim consistent with the obverse. The casting quality reflects official monetary production, with characters in moderate relief. |
