Reverse description Central field displays six bold Chinese characters arranged in two rows of three, reading 省平玖 / 錢紋足 (Provincial Scale Fine Silver / 9 Qian), deeply struck in high relief with a formal brushwork-derived style. The inscription is enclosed within a plain inner circle, itself surrounded by a uniform ring of raised beads at the coin's periphery. The reverse, like the obverse, is devoid of decorative imagery, emphasizing the coin's function as a certified bullion denomination of the Hunan provincial monetary system.
