| Obverse description | Rectangular bronze tally plaque with rounded upper corners and a small circular suspension hole pierced near the top edge. The recessed field bears five large Chinese characters in traditional regular script (kaishu), arranged vertically in a single column reading 臨安府行用, rendered in raised relief against a plain ground. The characters are boldly cast with confident strokes, filling the available field. A raised border frames the entire face. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents an identical rectangular format with rounded upper corners and matching suspension hole at the top. Five Chinese characters in traditional regular script are cast in raised relief within a recessed field, arranged vertically reading 準伍佰文省, indicating the denomination and reduced-count valuation. The bold, well-spaced characters exhibit the characteristic directness of Southern Song official casting, and a raised linear border encloses the field on all sides. |
