| Reverse description | Plain cast reverse centered on a square central perforation, bordered by a raised inner square rim and a raised outer circular rim. The field between the rims is flat and entirely without legend or ornament, displaying the characteristic unadorned reverse typical of Northern Dynasties Wu Zhu cash coinage. The surface shows extensive green and brown patination with areas of cuprite and verdigris, evidence of long-term burial corrosion. The casting is relatively even, with minor surface porosity visible across the field. No mint marks or additional devices are present. |
