| Reverse description | Reverse of the spade-shaped cast bronze charm displaying two panels of Chinese characters in low relief flanking the central square hole, mirroring the obverse layout. The characters are more clearly defined on this side, though still difficult to read with certainty due to wear and casting texture. |
