| Reverse description | Uniface reverse, entirely blank save for a central square perforation mirrored from the obverse. A faint raised rim borders the inner square aperture, and a subtle concentric circle is discernible in the field near the outer edge, likely a casting artifact. The surface displays the coarse, granular texture typical of cast zinc, with no inscriptions, decorative devices, or mint marks of any kind. |
